Default MK2 RS with 2.0 Duratec MTX75

Hi

By chance has anyone stuck a 2.0 Duratec with MtX75 in a Mk2 RS

Im converting my race car to MK2 RS suspension and trying to sort out which driveshafts i might be able to use..

I guess probably will need some custom pieces made.

Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

I guess no something anyone has done before.
Any clues if the splines on the RS driveshafts are different to the other MK2 models?
Outer CV Joint side

Im in Bahrain in the Middle East so finding bits to compare is pretty much impossible.

Thanks

For anyone who might find the info interesting

Found a spare set of driveshafts of a non RS MK2 and tried them on the RS wheel bearings.

Spline in the RS mk2 wheel bearings is larger than the Non RS cars.
So MK2 RS wheel bearing is same as used on a MK4 Mondeo Part No1496721
Wheel bearings on the ST2.5 or MK2 2.0/1.6 cars are the Part no1471854

So all I need are some custom made longer axle shafts. Elite Transmission can makes those up for me.

Just need to wait for KW to make me the set of front Competition 2A dampers so I can mount it all up and measure whats needed.

By chance.. If anyone has a stock front anti roll bar for a MK2 RS Please let me know.
Thats the missing piece of the puzzle for the conversion. I have all the rear components already.
Thanks
