now if i read ya email properly before typing (make sure before brain engaged before moving fingers........)
right what u do is , cut the tie rod adjuster in half, get a sleeve approx 90 mm long, (i actually made mine 100 mm, 90 is better), 5mm thick wall, machined out of autoflex ( there is a number e.g 4130 etcc, but not sure what it is)., the hole down the middle is machined out so that it is a real nice sliding fit for the adjusters. then drill (this stuff drills good with a decent bit) a few holes (7mm or so, ) say 4, at each end, within a inch of the end, in different spots, then put each tie adj in, and just leave say a cuople mm of blank tie rod adj sticking out the sleeve, weld around the adj where it just goes in the sleeve, then plug weld the holes.... thats it. here are a couple of pics , ones a close up of sim adj bit of controll arm, the other is a close up of tie rod adj. /usr/home/ozdat/members/uploads/adjshim.jpg /usr/home/ozdat/members/uploads/adjtie1.jpg can some one tell me what i have to type before the above links to get em to work?? mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: "E Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 6:06 AM Subject: RE: Who makes Adjustable lwr controll arms > Mark, > So how do you get the necessary length on the tie rods to adjust them?
