Default Steering Column Support

Quick question,

I have made up my steering column support bracket today, but i can't find a measurement for the distance between the righthand edge of the righthand CP15 and the juntion of SW1 and SW2

If I have got the right take on things, it goes something like this

I think the distance between hole centres were left off because there are different sizes of column yoke used by Ford.

I found the centres by measuring my steering column then fixed the two plates middle for diddle on the support frame

Lightly clamp it all up & see if the steering wheel is in a position of your liking

This is the yoke to measure

I know the distance between the two CP15, just was not sure if they where off to one side of SW2 or in the middle.

Thanks any way

Been a fair while since I done that part

Seem to remember Fixing them central to the drivers seated position if that makes sense

The column when fitted and with the shaft extension fixed to the rack, followed a nice line & did not foul any components.

AshG put a detailed post on here a while back but not sure where it was located
