Mustang rack to spindle question
 

Hello all..
I am building a custom 66 with a custom crossmember and a mustang power rack..question is, whats the best way to connect the steering rods from the rack to the spindle...I know that the tie rod connection point on the spindle is tapered...on my rack, i have heim joints...I assume the proper procedure is to drill the taper out of the spindle connection point and use a bolt with the heim and misalignment spacers...thoughts? ideas? link is to a pic of what i have...

Nice thread...Only difference with mine, is the spindles taper goes out to 3/4" so i would have to drill my spindle out to 3/4 instead of 5/8...I wish someone made a tapered insert that I could make that hole a 5/8 straight through hole.. any ideas how to achieve that? Or is there a reducer i could use that i drill it out to a 3/4 straight through and then use a reducer that brings it back to 5/8....thoughts??

Look online. They make tapered inserts that the 4wd groups use but I went the route I did because of the TRE/R&P compatibility issues.

Thats essentially what i need to do...I need to drill mine out to 3/4 for a 3/4OD x 5/8 ID bushing...Where did you order your bushings from? I like the idea of the Oversized bushing..
