Oh yes !!!!!!!!

......but with a modicum of ingenuity and quite a bit of hair pulling.

But worth it......IMHO.

Mk3 on may be a straight swap.

Pete, mine was a MK2......

It's really to try and avoid the use of relays, as the sierra switching aint man enough without.

Yes exactly that! I did use the loom from my donor MK2 for the entire car. I shortened the stalks a tad for neatness, and re-assigned the stalks to varying functions, hence doing away with the need for switches on the dash. The stalks of the MK2 being ally, soooo much nicer than the flimsy Sierra ones anyway......IMO of course!

What wiring loom are you using? as the switches are imaterial if the wiring isn't up to the job

Escort Loom

If the Escort loom dosn't have any relays then you should be ok but if there are any in there ie for the lights then you should keep them as the wires between the switch and the relay may not be up to the current you will be asking them to carry.
