Default Steering rack extensions

Hi guys, just a quick one. I brought my extensions a while ago 'by the book' and I need to shorten them. How long should I make them? Overall length / length of male thread. The female theaded end will be left alone.

Cheers
Josh

Josh,

mine are 115mm long measured from the shoulder where the male thread ends. Seems to be about right.

Did put this on last night, wondered whether it would survive long with the forum work going on.

Thanks Neil - yes I did see your post the night before but forgot the measurements you gave me, then it got deleted!

Cheers
