hi, i modified mine. i`ve sent u a couple pics of what i`ve done. basicall ive cut it in the middle, the bit where the tie rods screw onto, then got some autoflex steel (cant remember how long, but i think i ended up with about a 6mm plus/minus 1mm thick wall) ), got a hole bored down the middle, drilled some holes in the side .
the bored hole is a snug fit for the adjuster. then i put the ends in the auto flex, welded around the ends, then plug welded inthru the side holes to make sure the adj is securely held together. mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: "Warren Phillip-Clarke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 9:59 AM Subject: tie rods Guys some help please. I have just wound on some nice negative camber on my rally 1600 and now find I may need longer tie rods so as to complete a wheel alignment giving me about 2 deg toe out, it would appear though that my tie rods aren't going to be long enough. Is there another model of vehicle with the same diameter and thread pitch etc with longer rods I can get off the shelf? Any help greatly appreciated and cost will be a factor at the moment.
