just fitted roll bar setup to a mk4!!!!!!!!!
just fitted it today
anyone seen one like this before?
supposed to be a ford rally item, it uses rs1600i roll bar and tie rods on a thick alloy special cast subframe to clear the mk4 cradle.
i love it,

you gotta fit mk3 engine mounts somehow.
if the mk4 box has the 4 bolt pattern on the front then it may work but off hand i think it hasnt got 4 bolt holes

as for fitting a mk3 item, i recon you could just fit about 3/4" spacers under the cast part of the rollbar setup to clear the cradle.
but the proble may be lining up the bolt holes to the chassis, but its not rocket science.
did you buy that one off ebay?
looked a bargain to me, i think you can use mk4 escort power steering rack clamps to hold the bushes on!

If you have any troubles with ANY Ford RS parts, Roger Pitts at the Redditch RS Dealer will be able to get them if they are available 08453459100
He was a legend when I needed a few odds and sods for mine. What he doesnt know about RS parts isnt worth knowing

All dealers would come through us to locate, or sometimes source, or obtain Technical Info. Bushes aren't too much of a problem, and can be substituted. Unfortunately, the situation has now changed drastically, mainly due to the Boreham stuff going on. There are now proper "channels" to use
I just managed to obtain the last two 1983 RS Tie-rod ends in the world (Ford stock anyways) from Spain!
