Edelmann close enough at 50.75"..Hate to say it but it looks like the K2XX rack is much wider, and that's going to be the big hurdle to overcome.  With a 15" difference in width, I'll take a guess that the tie rod ends are much shorter.What's the advantage of the spindle swap, other than a slight weight reduction?Richard</blockquote>
