David,

The most correct would be "slightly less than 6 ft" since it may vary depending on struts length adjustment. Mostly close to 173-176 cm.

Be carefull on that one. Print # 260-4012 rev e says the strut measures 23.45 inches which is no longer correct. rev d says says 24.750 which is correct. that will give you a stance of 64.5 inches center to center on your wheels. I know D comes before E but D is the correct one. ;)

Oops, my mistake! Took a look at drawings: 260-0002 drawing (zero rev.)shows 66' between wheels' centres - when wheels are vertical without any toe. And I forget (again) that 6' equals 72", not 60" :o
Anyway I recall that our wheels are slightly closer to each other and they are reall 173-176 cm between centres - I remember this from building trailers for them.
