here goes....

total length between the center of the threads of the track rod ends is

135 cm

this includes the rack.... rack extensions & track rod ends....

the actual length of the rack extensions on their own is 13 cm.

sorry i can,t give the measurement of each individual part but its all put together on my car, so taking into account some final adjustment of tracking, the figure of 135 cm is about right....

as said it is a std escort mkII rack with the 13cm rack extensions fitted then connected to the track rod ends........hope that makes sense

if i may say.... i think folk are getting confused when talking about shortening the rack as i think this is meant to imply the SIERRA donor,s rack when mentioned in the book......use the escort rack & you,ll be fine, but don,t make the extensions to the spec as stated in the book.

hope this helps.

cheers
andy
