supersport Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 the racks should be similar, as my MK5 has the same rack boots as my MK2 orion. if i get a chance i'll look at the numbers on themand let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNDQ Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 A MK2 Orion is a MK5 Escort isn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEEMAN Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Yeah it is lol! I'm just wondering are the internals from a fiesta mk3 the same as the escorts? Is that possible lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNDQ Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I spoke to a tec at ford that's been there since "the MK3 Escort was new" lol he said he is sure the MK3 Fiesta and MK5 Escort use same suspension but the part that the column bolts onto was shorter on the Fiesta. I did put up a thread on PF using for pics and turns lock to lock on a XR2I but no one replied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horizon Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 what about using a PAS rack without the oil and the pump... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEEMAN Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Now that would be silly as the steering is stiffer with out the oil and pump compared to a normal manual one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horizon Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Due to it being a quicker rack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNDQ Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) To be fair he is sort of correct once all the oil is out of the rams in the rack its no heavier than a non p/s unit but in sure my RS rack was about 3 turns lock to lock i was aiming for 2.2-2.4 Edited September 22, 2013 by JOHNDQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEEMAN Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 maybe so then. I have checked up with some electronic steering but still it would be easier finding if someone can change the gearing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
