best bet is ebay, thats where i got mine from, there is a few stores which stock the escort mk2 stuff, is basically a straight fit but you need to buy straight bolts to replace the u shape ones and then file the top of the block down ever so slightly.

Also definitely check that the bolts are on very tight and check after a few miles, two of mine rattled them selves lose. so i used two sets of bolts.
