Standard 17" wheels and 99.9% sure it is not my original rack.......
Remembering your earlier post about rack lengths, I measured today and I have 18-20mm of adjustment thread on the right and about 5-8 mm of thread on the left hand track-rod. - and i hope this will be enough to bring it right again.
If I get the chance today, I'll nip down to one of my sheds and measure up the exposed threads on my old rack. My car has 17" wheels as well so - theoretically at least - I should be able to tally up approx 26mm of total exposd thread.
There have been rumours of cheap Chinese replacement racks doing the rounds, but I don't know if that was based on fact or fiction
I'm guessing the reason that Kwikfart ended up with the steering wheel upside down is because they thought that was actually the right way up I can't think of any other reason (based on mechanical necessity) for adjusting it up 180 degrees out !
