I have put adjustable front tie rods on Duffy and could do with the length of the standard one to use as a starting point.  I don’t have the original tie rods anymore.

I need the length between the front bracket on the subframe to the centre of the bolt in the Track Control Arm.

14.25" from the front of the welded on washer to the front of the hole where the bolt goes through at the lower arm

From the outer face of the welded washer to the centre ot the bottom arm fixing hole is 366mm, but it is more important to check the castor angle, I think 3 dec is the standard setting, as this angle is set by adjusting the length of the tie arm.

Thanks for that info guys.

I can check this as a starting point. I know I need the front geometry checking, I will do that when I get time.
