The outside measurements are the same on my 1962 tri-carb - 26-9/16"
Luggage rack purchased in England in 1979 fitted perfectly with no
gaps.
My uprights actually rest on the bumper blade (not the brackets) and
the rack is horizontal with that set-up. When touring we used to hold
the spare wheel on the rack with a bungee cord, and put the luggage in
the boot.

apart (inside edge to inside edge) which is about the same as how my
trunk hinges are spaced outside edge to outside edge.
