Dimensional drawing for Transit Drag link?

I'm looking for a drawing of the Transit Drag link. I've search the forum for houts and have only come up with a Transit TRE drawing. I know the TRE is M20 vs M18, but I'm unsure what else is different.

Failing that, could someone with a Transit Drag link measure ball joint center to the end of the M18 shank?

Any other measurements would be a bonus.

Thanks,
Mark

I think I might have something - here's a photo but I don't suppose that's any use

I took a ruler to the picture and came up with some real small measurements.

Thanks Raz, I appreciate you looking.

If you need anything better, I have a dxf file of a drag link. Can't remember where it came from so I can't vouch for it's accuracy but it looked about right!

I just checked on Locost CAD resource and the cupboard was bare. If you do have a diagram it would be a good addition to the library

emailed it across to you - sent both a DWG and a DXF. As I say I can't vouch for accuracy as I haven't got a link to compare it to, but I'm pretty sure it came from a reliable source!

Puk - how do I add it, or am I being thick?

If Mark can provide (well, confirm!) a couple of dims on it for me to validate I might even knock up a full 3D job when I have a mo.

Thanks! I'll try to take a look tonight, I may not have time till tomorrow though.

I don't have one to compare/verify the drawing. I'll try to export to a pdf, or something else and post it. Maybe Raz could verify the measurements.

No no - that was me - I blocked the "any one can upload stuff" option to try and keep spam at bay. Could you email the file to me via:

locost-cad-models (at) googlegroups.com

Thanks

Here is the first attempt. I've asked to get a side view also. The sleave and nuts on the shank don't seem to be seperate, so I'm unsure of the length of the shank.

Could the length from the balljoint to the end of the shank really be 5.301"?? That seems very long.

Left or right

Hi,
Does anyone out there know whether it a Left Hand (Nearside) or Right Hand (Offside) drag link that is needed?

Help! I know it's M18 right hand thread, but which side of the transit??

Sorry to dig up an old thread guys!

could you send that DXF/DWG my way Delinquent? (if you still have it)

Trying to get my Chassis model finished and this is one of the last bits i need to model (apart from sierra diff & shafts etc but thats WAAAAY too time consuming!)

Ive literally hunted the internet for one and found nothing!

Cheers





ITS FINE! i welded it!
