Don't order a TRE, you need the drag link!

Drag link is from early transit with steering box, before rack and pinion was invented Don't order a pair as you need two right hand thread
ones.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I brought them top ball joints but there too big and don't fit... maybe my hubs are mk2 or even mk1 anyone know which ones i should use... bit
stuck now

also the balljoint has an internal thread as does the luego arm.. how do you join the two... is it just a simple bit of bar or am i missing something

You've got the wrong thing there, I don't know what it is but it's not a drag link coupling. They are m18x1.5 male thread. Look at
the picture on here it's the thing next to the nosecone. Whereabouts are you? Cortina Mk1and MkII were
McPherson strut so you've not got them.
