Threaded tube

I have done some searches on google, and struggling to find who makes threaded tube for the suspension arms.

Can you actually buy such an item, or do you get a piece of solid tubing, drill and tap it yourself???

The ones I have are 18mm x 20TPI which i think is the most common. There is a guy on ebay who makes them like this but I think he will be able to make them with any thread as he is actually making some with a plain bore for me so that I can use the adjustable camber setup. Here is his email.

I've got some 5/8 UNF threaded inserts if thats what you're after? They are 25mm long, 22mm OD with a 5/8 UNF thread through the middle. (Wall thickness 3mm)
These are welded to the tube you use for the wishbones. U2U if you want to buy some.

the one i have are 25mm in length and about 4mm thick, i am after something a little longer and slightly thinner, to make it easier to weld.... as i don't think my welder will work on 4mm...
