Is the distance between the two horizontal rails on pannier racks pretty much the same to fit most bags? (Vertical distance between the tube which a bag hooks onto and the lower tube which some bags have another hook to secure to)
And what is that distance?

I know there's some racks (e.g. Tortec Velocity) that lean in, so the distance between horizontal rails won't be the same for all racks. However, your bit in brackets makes me think you mean a different thing... A diagram maybe?

My bad. What I was trying to get at is if you were to build a rack without a specific bag in mind, would there be an optimal height at which to place to two horizontal supports on each side bearing in mind that some bags have a lower clip to stop them swinging.
