I'm looking for and idea what can be wrong. I got brand new -31 actuator and new 130mm Escort Cosworth actuator rod. Still they are about 1 cm too short when I screw it on only one turn. My turbo with old actuator looks like that. What can be modified/non factory that it wont' fit? Exhaust housing?

You need to get someone to measure a genuine Cosworth turnbuckle for you as i said yesterday. Im sure someone will

Will somebody?

Longer then 130mm???? Mike rainbird measured actuator rod of an Escort Cossie for me and it was 130mm, I got one and it's barely possible to put it on.Maybe if use a lot of force, but this doesn't look like right lengh. I wonder why can be wrong on my car still? Bracket? Exhaust housing? Anybody got measuring instruent of some kind and an Escort Cossie and could post some numbers?

I thought they were more 145mm from memory to be honest..

is it possible to use the mounting plate for the actuator from a 2wd cossie T3 turbo? as this bolts onto the back of the compressor cover instead of the 4x4 one that bolts onto the front

Thats what I was going to suggest.
