    tube measurements for tie rod/drag link

    It seems the tie rod setup I bought years ago is too long. must have been for the full width front end. Anyone either:

    1 want to trade sets
    2 have a few new bungs they want to sell so I can cut mine down or
    3 give me the tube measurements so I can order a new set

    I already have the chevy 1 ton ends, just need a shorter set of tubes.

      All I actually need is a 7/8 18 tbi weld in bung. Either side is fine.

          If you would rather tap the tubing then weld in inserts I would be willing to help out, I have the 7/8-18 left and right taps. You could measure my ends to determine if they are the same as what you want and then go from there. I might even have some 1 3/8" o.d. x .250" i.d. tube that I could sell to you, its chromo too!

            I originally bought my tie rod kit from seven rivers, and found out later that Parts Mike in Auburn sells everything and keeps it in stock to build the tie rod/ drag link set-up. He has different lengths of DOM, 1 ton tie rod ends, tube adapters and jam nuts, and much much more.

                          turns out my tubing is odd. I cut it down and can not shorten it with what I have. Besides, I got the wrong ends from AA Fab. I just ordered a new tie rod from Adam and will pick it up Monday.
