    I'm looking for a source that has custom drag link / tie-rod tubes in lengths under 20". I specifically need them tapped 11/16-18. I have found Speedway and others have them but only in longer lengths. Worse comes to worse, I'll by a left-hand tap (I already have the RH tap) and will make my own.

    Thanks guys.

    Buy 1, cut off the rh side to length, take your rh tap and re-tap threads...

    Buy the tap and a couple of lengths of DOM and be done with it. And have a better product than most.

    I just ordered the rod ends and tubing as I thought I would end up having to do. I was ust checking for other sources before committing.

    There is a guy about 30 miles north of you that can help. He has a LH tap, and a massive lathe. Send me a PM.

    Thanks Marty. I had already ordered when I saw your thread but appreciate your offer. I'll not react so quickly next time!
