The simple rod length (no ends 14 inches
add the rodends AN490HT8P shoulder-shoulder 14-1/4 inches
distance twixt endfitting centrelines MW4 18 inches
Strangely enough these distances are measured to the nearest mm, in situ, give
the requisite 30deg either side travel, and permit about 3/4in in rod length 
change
if required - that is, the rodends and fittings are at mid-range.

Cheers,

Fergus,
and anyone still reading this thread, Don't forget there are several variables
which affect the eventual length of the rod, bulkhead position, sternpost 
position,
width of the flanges etc. and of course the position of the CS29.
Start at 17 inches and cut back in degreasing increments. It is easy to slip the
rear end fitting in and try it, then swing the rudder out again hanging from
the top hing screw, cut a bit off and swing it back.
Graham, still smiling from watching an Aurora outside Jos' place in Lappland!
