Hi Dave, Just a quick heads up.

Here's your steering Rod end conversion kit. The bolts I had on the shelf are too short so I'll pick up the right ones tomorrow and post it off.



The kit has threaded collars with a 5/8" UNF Left hand Thread in one end and a 16x1.5 RH thread in the other. This lets it thread on to the VP commodore rack ends with a high quality chrome molly rod end on the other. The Left and right hand threads mean you just need to loosen the lock nuts and rotate the sleeve to adjust your toe without having to unbolt the rod end and flip it over etc.



The kit also has misalignment washers that allow the rod end to pivot further. The top washer is a top hat shape as a safety precaution. If the ball in the rod end some how fails it won't let the body of the rod end come adrift.

This is what it'll look like on the car



Cheers
