Tie rod ends - metric rack imperial taper

As per the title what rod ends for a mk2 rack and Capri arms? I know of the "green" rod ends but can someone confirm where to buy and part number please? I'm finding it difficult to identify the correct part and I don't want to waste money on the wrong ones.

Cheers

Paul

    Uk spec RS2000 uses them.
    Would it be easier to pull the rack apart and fit mk1 arms? Saves headaches. . If the rack isn't a fast rack just rebuild a mk1 rack and swap it over.

    Just be wary there are two grades of quality for "green" rod ends.
    Genuine Ford being the better obviously.

    From what I have found my quick rack is not suitable to use the mk1 ends as this was my initial idea. Hence now I'm looking at the rod ends.
    Thanks Evan. I looked at those but wasn't sure ....

    Cheers

    I have a set of "green" tie rod end that I never used somewhere in my shed....trouble will be finding them.
    Can't confirm the quality as I bought them off ebay from a guy liquidating his rally car project.

    Happy to have a look if you find them.

    Cheers
