Tie rod extensions?


Recommended Posts

I am almost done with my banshee build, but i am running out of cash lol an i need longer tie rod sleeves. i was thinking about making my own, i am alright on a lathe, but i cant find a reverse thread tapt, so i was thinking what if i make like a 2 inch extender that threaded into the sleeve i had, then welded it in, and drilled and taped the outer end. just a thought. what to you guys think?

i couldn't find a 10 mm left hand tap, so i just ordered a 3/8".  just a little smaller, but then you can use studded heims.  dont use the cheapo $4 ones though.  call rod end supply and they can add a stud to any heim for about $1.75 or something like that.  i got the nice chromoly ones for only a little more than those cheapo ones.  i am about to order a 7/16" left hand tap set so i can use those too, just have to drill out the stem and spindle tie rod holes.
