Chuck, thanks, yes I have exhausted alll the normal sources plus most other
specialists...some obscure. The answer is NLA. I have a pair of new sprite tie
rods that I got from Moss but they are the wrong thread (larger) and are so
tight as to not be servicable. I am sure they would loosen up in time in a
heavy road car but not what I want for my 900 lb Formula Junior. Last resort
will be to rebuild them and re-thread the ends but I have gone that route
before and it is very hard to get them apart without pipe wrench scars etc. OK
if they will be covered by boots I guess, but they are exposed on the FJ and
will look lousy on my nice rechromated mag cooper rack!
