Building tie rod adapters (disk conversion)

[jmlcolorado]

Has anyone ever tried to just build their own adapters for their disk brake swap?
I grabbed the whole tie rod assembly from each side when I got my junk yard spindles for my conversion.
Anyone who knows what their doing with a welder could make these by cutting the original in half, then welding the donor one in half, weld together, then add strips of 1/8" x 4" to the outside of the tube and fully weld those.

I know $14 to have a set made isn't breaking the bank at all but just curious is anyone has made their own.

Guess the other way would buy some thick wall DOM and tap them yourself but without a machine, that would take some effort, not to mention serious arm strength
