If its a book chassis and Escort rack, then you'll get away with it as it stands, just mount it as low as poss in the chassis to minimise bump
steer.
Purists would say shorten by a couple of inches and add track rod spacers, but I didnt find that necessary.

whatever you end up doing, there sholuld be at least 1.5 times diameter of threaded part screwed into the track rod end (21 mm for M14)

Standard width rack here too, and no bump steer visible (took a bit of fiddling though)
