Hi there mate, have been thinking about converting my EST to power steering to!
I have seen a MK4 Escort cabby in the local Ford scrappers and this has some kind of conversion done. As far as i can make out, it looks as though they have just used a Mk5 power steering rack and made up some brackets to make it fit the MK4 shell. I know some of the Mk5 Escorts still used the 1600 CVH and i have seen them with power steering. The pump fixes on the top left side of the engine near the cam belt cover and the fluid resovoir sits next to the header tank. Apart from a couple of braded black pipes wit banjos on the end thats about all i could see the system has. Janno at odd kid said he used three different parts of racks for his conversions?? Ive also heard of some sort of Rover metro rack being used, but not sure? Think im gonna have a go with the MK5 escort setup and suck it and see!
