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

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.
