I have a mk3 dash fitted but as the column has two universals in it you could angle it in the same way as the mk2 column was , I actually reused the mk2 pedal box at first but later changed to a mk3 one as it better suited the new auto brake pedal and the escort servo/master cyl setup I run. I remember old Q offering a power steering conversion when I ordered my 2+2 but it was a good grand or so !! I looked long and hard for an off the shelf option for the coupe to use a normal type ps rack but couldn't find anything so I reckon old Q must have had the ps racks made it would explain the cost. A fellow Q owner pointed me in the direction of the mgtf column , I was initially looking at the corsa type but the ecu is easier to deal with on these.

Darren, That sounds like a good set up. Did you have to modify the dash, as the Fiesta column is offset but I don't think the Escort one was.
