Escort track rod ends.
I think just about everyone uses them but there are bound to be a few exceptions.

Mk1 & Mk2 Escort have different threads on the steering racks  Mk1 is imperial (?) Mk2 is M14. Certain TRE's have different sized tapers
too.

All 70s mainstream Ford cars from the Granda down to Fiesta used the same M14 TRE with exception of the Capri.
The Mk1 Escort was just 1960s carry over.
Strangely Mk3 Escort reverted to Imperial threads and tapers.

Yep. Capri same as Mk1.
Just that 'theohighland' didn't state whether Mk1 or Mk2 rack.
