Re: Tie rod sleeves

We will have our own machined tie rod sleeves in about 3-4 weeks. It is a new product we will be making and just waiting for our first production run to be completed. We will also have narrowed ones for guys with 1" narrowed arms.

They will be machined aluminum, black anodized, adjusting hex in the middle with locking nuts.
$55 for the pair.

I assume these will be in the following configurations?
(these are also different lengths, due to the tie rods being different lengths from '60-'87)

Pre-'71
5/8" thread

'71-87
11/16" thread

For the conversion guys:
And 5/8" to 11/16" thread

The first round will be for 71-87, both standard and narrowed. Next round, will be for the conversions as you mentioned.
