Anybody have for sale/know where I can get an M14 x 2mm dienut/die and stock for a reasonable price?
I need to shorten my track rods as I have excessive toe-out and will need to cut new threads for the track rod ends/extensions.

I suspect you really need a "split die" --- die nuts are really just for cleaning/finishing threads.

Thanks for the replies, guys...

...Looks like somebody is prepared to lend me one on the Tiger forum

I take it that you aren't going to try and cut threads further up the std trackrods???

they are threadrolled and the diameter will be too small.

Yup....dont try and cut more thread on the track rods....it will work, but you will have a weak thread! The diameter of the track rod is smaller than the neccessary major diameter for cutting the M14 thread.
