This was asked on here a while ago, the conclusion then was that the rack, pump and pipes should - for ease of fitting - come from another MK2 Orion or its Escort equivalent, this was an option at the time on Ghias and on all saloons after the change from Orion to Escort name on the boot.

I think John,that the OP has more accessibility to the Zetec setup than the optional extra parts from the same CVH
