Indy steering rack shaft length

Can anyone please confirm the steering rack shaft length for the Indy, not the case length.

Ta everso.

To clarify is it the splined pinion shaft you need the measurement of or the lower steering column shaft?

Sorry should have explained that better.

I already have the standard ratio shortened Sierra rack in my Indy, 4 turn L2L.

I've picked up rather cheaply I might add (£34 + p&p) a 2.8 L2L Quaife rack internal for the Sierra rack which in its current form is too long to fit the shortened case.

How much do I chop off the rack? I've got a feeling it's 9", can anyone confirm?

MK shorten the case by 252mm.

I could remove the existing rack and measure up but I cant do that until Saturday earliest. If I know how much to take off the rack this afternoon I can get it bench sawn at a local engineering firm tonight, just me being impatient rather than waiting until Monday

The one I've done is about 19 inch in length ............

And I also believe its a standard M10 thread on the end .......


Hope this helps
