Depends on the age of the van.
Pre- 05/68, they were 225mm, after that 192mm.
2CV, Dyane, etc. listed as 193mm

Apologies, Bob,
made a complete nonsense of that, quoting spring lengths instead of tie rod lengths.
642mm is what you need, which is the same as some rear tie rods used on other (earlier) A series.

By coincidence, I'd been sorting out the paperwork for an AKS400 chassis which is being loaded today to go to South Africa.
Guess I ought to concentrate on the job in hand... :roll:
