Sierra 'push-in' shafts / steering rack ?
I found these while clearing out the garage:
I think they are off my dads old sierra 2.0 pinto estate (I must have been about 9 years old when he sold it!)
other wise they came from a 1.8 CVH one (which he sold when I was 16)
so either way they've been there a while :lol: 
the driveshafts are ~27mm dia. in the midle of the shaft itself
and ~28mm dia. on the splines where they fit into the diff
so what else do I need to check to find out what they are?

if its not a sierra one, it could be a cortina one, he had a few of them too
but it could be from almost anything :?
in the past I've found a dead cortina back axle, a dead talbot sunbeam back axle, a 2.0 pinto, pre-historic SU carbs, alfa hubcaps, talbot 90
gearboxes and about 40+ wheels  (inc 1 set of origonal 10" mini cooper steels )
and loads of other bits for roots group, pug/talbot and ford cars.........
all my donor cars have been granada's or XR4x4, so all have bolt-on shafts and power steering - which means I've nothing to compare them
to.......

sorry some sierras did have steel cased steering racks (P100 at the very least)
the bolt through hole mounts sugest sierra rack
and rule out cortina
