Default Failed MOT

As expected tbh but not as bad as I thought

I need a couple of things and they are a steering rack and a spring bracket to fit on back of offsode front brake caliper.

Now my car is an RS cabriolet conversion so I am wondering if the rack would have to be an RS one or are they all the same on the MK4's? Also what other racks would fit a MK4 Escort (1989 'G')?

I will be putting up a wanted thread in the correct forum soon for my bits I need

Any help is appreciated, as usual

Can you tell me where from for that price please? I have had a quote from a Ford dealer and he reckoned £150-£300 as there were 4 different types! A big difference in there 2 prices and Wilco said £35 but would need the one in exchange so £55 until the old one is sent back then £20 back. But I would of thought they were recon ones.
