Transit Track Rod Ends
Hi all,
I bought my track rod ends some time ago, and have only just noticed that one of them does not allow enough movement for the amount of suspension
travel required. One of the other builders here in Oz has found the same problem. So I'll need to get another one, but how do I know which of
the 7-8 different ones available are the right ones? I have found a couple of the QH ones on fleabay but I want to be sure that they're right
before buying. Unfortunately the ones I have do not have any discernable markings and the packages are long gone.
If anyone is able to help I would appreciate it.
Cheers,
Tim

I think that the track rod ends aren't what you're actually looking for. I remember someone saying drag link ends instead?

Yes.....
That's the one. It's a bit late for me I'm afraid....

What uprights are you using? It may alter what part you need/which one fits.

I'm using the Cortina one as per Uncle Ron's recommendations.
I have a list of all the drag link ends available (http://locost7.info/files/steering/LocostBallJoints.htm), but need to know which ones give enough
travel.

I created that ball joint list some time ago it is simply the xref numbers from an old QH catalogue -- don't take it as 100% correct.
