Default Steering Rack Brackets

I have just got around to test fitting my steering brackets, and seem to have a lot of play in the narrow bracket.

Can anyone tell me what inside height of this bracket should be, have attached a picture of the measurement i need.

Thanks for the help in advance

Did you get them off us TK, as said there should be 2 spacers in the packet.

You could always use some steel plate as spacers to get them tight.

My problem it's seems is that i have the spacers missing.

Spud i bought the brackets from ebay before you started selling them, i have contacted the seller, but don't hold out much hope of getting them.

Will give it a few days then make up the spacer myself.

Thanks for the help
