Technical - Why are there ZERO Tie Rod ends for the 54 New Yorker?Technical
I can find what possibly might fit for well over 80 bucks, but the key to this is the taper size on the .688x18 regular right hand threads.
The two I purchased have a huge shaft, but Buttercup has smaller shafts sockets.
Is this just where I gotta spend over a hundred bucks for a single tie... -

Technical - Tires...Need help making selectionTechnical
The tires are over 40 years old, look great, no checking or rot on the outside. But must have sat flat for a long time as they have slight flat spots and bounce pretty badly at about 30MPH.
So, my question is what is a comparable size street tire today? McCreary 33.0/15-15 DT
TIA
Mitch
