STEERING ARM LENGTH

Hi, Im still at the concept stage at the moment and checking out
whats available, dimensions, etc. Please could I ask if anyone
has a Gemini front axle to measure the length of the steering
arms from the king-pin centreline to the hole for the steering
tie-rod?

Mine appears to be exactly 110mm, or 11cm.

Thank you for that. I was recently pondering on the same
dimension.
If it's any help, I calculated my Ackermann angle as 13 degrees,
that's with 784mm kingpin centres (at the top) and 1675
wheelbase.

Thanks very much for the info, I had guessed at 100mm from
looking at videos, but that gives me the exact length, which I
need for mocking up the area round the pedals ;D
I will be making my own uprights for double wishbone suspension
so this is very useful information. Im not going for full
Ackerman so will have the steering arm intersecting point behind
the rear axle. Looking at having a stub steering arm, so
different shaped plates can be attached to adjust the Ackerman.
