Default Can anyone help identify this part please!?

Its off my kit car which I have finally got back to rebuilding.












It is off the back end of the car, which the spec sheet shows uses a ford escort mk5 hub and some sierra cosworth bits . I somehow lost one in storage and am trying to reassemble now stuff has been powder coated!!

Track rod or tie rod end (dont forget its a kit car so parts used in odd places)

thanks for any help!!

Lots of kits use cortina front hubs/link ends
Have you a full pic of the whole front hub assembly,looks quite meaty in that pic

thanks mattman
Not got any better pictures than these, but will take some more tomorrow and upload them
Pretty sure its sierra or escort mk5 hub

this link, the top right part in the image looks the same I cant find a Moog part number for it. !
Dont forget the tie rods are custom, all I know is the linkages are ford

I have never seen that part on any ford.
They are not cortina hubs. Look like Sierra or escort

put tie rod end into Google and loads come up in images.

Measure the thread size and go from there.
