how much?
Before i go running off to my local breakers, could anyone tell me how much roughly money i will have to pay for these items?
1. master cylinder
2. steering rack
3. steering u/j and shaft.
Also whats the difference between the XR4I and the normal sierra when i comes to the U/J and shaft and the rear brake calipers?
Many thanks

Make sure the u/j is off a manual and not power steering rack.
Can't remember why at the minute but that is the advise I got when I was searching.

There is at least 3 lower links for the sierra , make sure you have enough clearance between the chassis and the link

I am pretty sure you will be ok as long as it's not a power steering set up. (obv off a sierra)
It is about £50-60 for a NEW master cylinder, so you can get a 2nd hand one if you want, but for that price why bother?
rear brakes I'm not sure of apart from to say, do you want to have discs or drums?

Treat yourself to a new master cylinder.

Matt, any new bits you need, I'll have a word with my mate next week
I would agree, new m/c though.
Any downlink is fine, as long as its NOT from a power steering car.

New Mastercylinder Matt old ones are notoriously shite!
especially as yours is going to be standing for a bit they perish
try and get the steering of a bog standard sierra you wont go wrong
