With all the different engine conversions taking place these days, and the need to lower the rack to get the correct driveline angles, clearences and to set the engine as low as possible in the engine bay, I'm very surprised someone hasn't come up with adjustable bump steer kits for MK1/2 Escort and Capri ect, like the ones pictured below.





The market for these will only grow as more and more conversions take place. Much easier to fit than having to modify the sump, especially if it's an alloy cast sump, which most are these days. The only issue I see is them passing roadworthy, but that hasn't stop most on here now has it..

Mkl Lotus, is the above kits something you could munufacture with your knowledge and expertise in this field?

Here's a link to more info on one of the kits pictured above.

esc-078 yes these kits are no problem to make, keeping the price reasonable or near the US kits would be difficult. Most of the cars that I am dealing with couldn't use them as the rules won't allow them. You would struggle to find an engineer to pass them and a roadworthy would depend on how hard it got looked at.

If there is genuine interest I would look into making them.
