sorry i've missed your reply earlier, but from what i can work out, you simply need to figure out a method of mounting the linkages and it will work

seeing as all the right hand drive mondeo's have the same cross link bar set up as the escorts, it may just simply be a case of unbolting one and bolting it to the other

good luck with whatever you decided to do, it's been done before so there must be a way to make it work

all you need to do now is find a mk3 mondeo and remove the cross bar and servo and master cylinder from it

Come on beefy mate let it sit and finish it down the road be it 1 yr or 5 yr's when you have a car as good looking as yours the time won't matter as it will be as good as brand new when you finish it,but i can understand what you mean when you have a family can be hard to throw your money on the car and they do take alot of cash to build
