Hi
As suggested by Andy & Ronnie I have shortend the extension by 13mm and it seems it is sorted. Many thanks guys.
One last Q do I need to put in the locking nut on the steering rack as well as the on the track rod ends?

The dimension of 533 between the inside track rod pivots in figure 5.34 is an absolute ideal. This will require the rack to be shortened but it's not really necessary, the prototype has a standard rack and excellent handling.
It also has rack extentions to the dimensions in the book. Which is a bit of a puzzler.
I've had many people comment that the extensions are too long, but I know the prototype has a 2.9 turns Escort rack from Rally Design and book length extensions. So I'm at a loss 
In short, I would use the standard rack and alter the extensions length to suit.
Cheers
