What size are the escort items are they 24mm in diameter? What price are they, where from and do they bolt straight on?

what car you got m8 as i thought all cossies had anti roll bars as standard (edited to say) IIRC early cosworths used the xr4x4 anti roll bar but on later models the roll bar was specific to the cosworth HTH

All the sapphire and escort anti roll bars are interchangeable . The escort rear is much thicker , i did this on a 2wd racecar , it made a lot of difference to its handling . You must get a 909 Diff mount if you make this mod , the axle starts to move around a bit more with the roll-bar on track , not important on a road car .
Cheers

Superb info Tony, Thanks i never thought of uprating the diff mount yet?!? Any other info on speccing my track day/drift car? I really need to know and feel what the car is doing, could I solid mount the r.beam/whole rear end or stick to poly bushes, a web site or other info much appreciated!

You can solid mount it . depends on what you want to use it for , they stop being a " shopping " car at this stage !!

Ive a tarmac GpA beam thats solid mounted if you want to go that way !!

Hi
Zoo Motorsport make this swop when fitting their Rearbeam/10.5" Diff conversion, so it must work.
