Corty rack install, bit hard to guess the exact length without taking the boots off but around 600mm

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

I will measure it and take a couple of photos tomorrow.

I'm guessing the manual steer Cortian rack would have the same dimensions as the power rack?
If you could, I need a few comparison measurements from the Cortina rack.

I did this quickly yesterday, I will go to my shed some time today and measure it again.
Its not accurate because of the boots but is close. Approx 600mm like Blacky said.
