Steering Extension
I have sourced what I think I need to connect the sierra column (adjustable) to the mk2 escort rack. Apparently it is around 3" long. Does this
sound correct? I know it needs the triangle clamp at one end but not sure about the other.
I also have a surplus escort steering column which I intend to use to connect the extension to the escort steering rack coupling.

Apparently that's what this has got, it's just that I thought that it was much longer than 3"?

i,m trying to work out how you are setting the column up,
on mine at the rack end is a (think its called Group 4 coupling) then i have bought a shaft from RD that has a spline at either end, this then gets
cut in half approx & welded to the part that has the triangulated coupling which then attaches to the triangle shaft up into the column shroud,
thats how i think it all goes together more or less, i have the parts but have not made it to size yet.

I'm not sure what to think. I seem to remember seeing a photo of a coupling on here somewhere that looked quite short. Maybe it's just a
UJ type coupling that he is selling? I'll see if he can send a picture of it and then I'll post it on here. My intention was to fit the
joint to the column and then use the escort steering column shaft I have spare as the extension piece between it and the joint connected to the
steering rack shaft.
Thoughts please?

I think you want something like these - the length will obviouslydepend on your installation

That looks like the UJ from a KA steering column. If so it's no good to you since it doesn't use the triangular shaft.
