55-59 adjustable drag link, tie rod end help

Hi everyone! Trying to finish installing my steering arms that were reworked by Sid. He flipped the taper in the steering arms. This will enable me to install the tie rod from the bottom clearing my lowered front leaf springs. he also reversed the taper for the drag link which will allow me to install the drag link from the botom essentially leveling the drag link to the frame which should eliminate my bump steer. When installing the drag link this way the stock length is too long and the tie rod ends would require reclocking to fit. The answer is an adjustable length drag link.

Now for my question. I need to find replacement tie rod ends that will install on my new drag link from Speedway. The tie rod ends are identical both ends, they just need to have 5/8"-18 threads.

The new ones I find locally must be made of gold because they want an arm and a leg for them. Anyone have a good lead on affordable replacements?

Thanks in advance for your time!
