If someone can do a sketch / drawing I'll make a pair, photograph them and post it here.
If there's enough interest I'll see what price the can be made at.
Any good?

threaded extensions wouldnt have helped me with this one, i have a set anyway. I only needed 20mm adding, which is too little to do without chopping
some off.
The long and short of it is it works fine welding it, the only problem being MOT time. I'll just put the original ones back in then, and crawl
down with 3 threads holding them on.
Does anyone have a good reason why welding them isnt safe, rather than not legal? They are only steel afterall.

The idea with 1/2" unf female extension is that the Escort rack track rods won't allow cutting 14 mm threads but should be OK at
1/2" UNF -- get my drift
They woud also be very handy for builders wanting to use MK1 Escort racks or Triumph racks.

Mk1 track rod ends don't fit the Cortina or Sierra taper do they?
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

The idea was the female thread would be 1/2" and male 14mm to allow mk1 racks to be adapted to mk2 track rod ends or with use a die to put
1/2" threads on the mk2 Escort which is too small a dia to accept a cut 14mm thread.
