Dimensions of Cortina rack?

Can anyone please help me with the dimensions of a Mk. III, IV, or V rack?
I need the distance between the balljoint centres and the spacing and distance between rack mount holes.
TIA.





Cheers, Rorty.

Surely somebody has an old Cortina rack laying around that they could run a tape over for me please? Be your best buddy!

Sorry Rorty, didn't see this last night. I have a Cortina rack that came of my Robin Hood donor Don't know what mark Cortina it's from though. I'll get you the measurements when I get back from work this evening.

Bit tricky to measure, but distance between balljoint centers is 720mm give or take a few mm. (I'm assuming you mean the balljoints at the ends of the rack rather than TREs?)

The distance between the mounting centers is approximately 340mm. I can get the mounting points measured more accurately as I still have the Cortina front subframe. However, it's outside attached to the remains of a Robin Hood wrapped up in a tarpaulin, and it's peeing down so that will have to wait!

Mike, I didn't listen to those gossipers, I think you're a fine chap. Thanks.
