thanks Guys.
now this is what confuses me

what difference would that twice the length i.e 30mm on the outer track rod make, when the inner track rod is screwed on to the rack with a m14 1.25 with 15mm of thread?

i mean both parts got the same amount of load or am i wrong?

basically i want to replace a track rod end with a rose joint but all the female rose joint are 15mm shorter then the track rod

thanks,

Gobs

;D update time

time to ger rid of more rust rot can even call it rust haha

start of with this



underneath



some new metal, now I know the shape is not the same but I just made sure the lights and the frame around the light fits



some rust primer



next section



some new metal and rust primer



cut shaped and tacked then welded in some new metal for the top



tacked the underside




copied for the second patch
tacked and welded it in



after flap wheeling the whole lot we have results



then I could not work for a few days so wire brushed the whole front to remove surface rust and I covered the whole lot in some rust primer

here is how I will leave it with you for now until next time when I finish off a small hole on the offside and skim it with filler



if you squint enough it loks like a baby mustang at the front... maybe its just me, I will get my coat
