It would be a Mk2 Escort rack as it was a book chassis. I got one exchange for mine from PCS in Clay Cross, how far away are you.

took to my local accessory shop they told me its not mk2 escorts because the neck where the steering rod joins two is 3'' long on mine and is 1'' on a mk2 escort,

PS only in retford

is it a cortina rack? think john may have used the cortina rear axle and rack? though i may be talking rubbish.

post a pic up, should help people identify it for you.
