steering rack/tie rod end Q

More questions (you forget a lot when you're out of the game for a while...)
 
Do RS2000's share the same steering rack as the base models? Reason being, I have Capri struts and need green tie rod ends to mate up properly with the bolt on style steering arm, and I just want to make sure they will fit on the steering rack! I've had enough sneaky surprises so I figure I should start using this forum more haha.
 
Cheers!
Josh.

    If it is a mark 2 and you have Capri struts you need green rod ends. Standard mark 2 Escort won't fit.
     
    I have the green ones in stock now. Not genuine Ford which some folks swear by but never had a problem withe them.
