been easier to buy a faster steering column from escort?. in uk aftermarket are produced (lhd and rhd), relatively fast, and can much rotate wheels. and good length between ball joint ( no bumb steering)
oh found it http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=10620
p.s. shaft have 45 mm left reserves to more rotate wheels, need make adapter
