Default Need a favour regarding cosworth steering rack length

Ive changed my steering rack from PAS to manual for a track car. but since doing it and putting it back together with trhe track rods etc my wheels are towing out but the Rod ends are wound in fully so they cant get any more tow in any more. i havent got my old rack so cant measure it but wanted someone to measure there rack without track rods inc in the measurement.
cheers in advanced!

There was something wrong with mine too, when tony did the geometry, he had to wind both ends on till they were bottomed out to get the the front to toe in slightly, never really looked into it though. I guess they were the wrong arms. When the car goes back together it will be having a recon rack and new arms and ends so shouldn't be a problem.
