Rack spacers

Hi people just wondered if anyone can tell me the required thickness for the steering rack spacers with a 35mm drop. I have 20mm ones but cab machine them to suit

Guessing here but i'm sure my spacers were about 12mm for a much bigger drop?

The ones I have were made by Chris Franklin of Centergravity, might be worth giving him a bell?

How thick are the T1R ones for reference?

I'm sure mine are 12mm too. IIRC they were meant to be half the amount of drop, but I can't work out why. If anything you'd think they should be the same.

Not quite, as the angles change due to the lower wishbone mounting points and the rack mounting points.
