You need the dimension from the center of one tie rod pivot to the other. Then shorten the inner rack as needed. Then take the same length removed out of the tube that forms the rack housing. You will need access to a metal lathe or a machinist to do this correctly but it is not hard if you have the required dimensions. I did this on my car. Do not weld on the inner rack this will create an unsafe condition in a vital part of the car. The rack in this picture has been shortened about 4 inches. It is a rack from an Early MGB. You can visualize where the pivot end of the rack is inside the boot as it is in a line between the upper and lower pivots of the suspension arms. Consult someone that deals with Mustangs such as Griggs Racing in Sonoma (at Sears Point) as thay can help you plot your course. No room for error here.
