Update on the tie rod ends......

Now have a sketch....crude but it captures the important measurements ...will attach at the end of this email. This will maker comparaisons easier with possible NATO parts....

To Crowbar.....checked the wildenberg part site...... very interesting....some of the parts/tools he is listing I have never seen this side of the pond....but no tie rod ends.

Moog as nothing that even comes close ...... BUT Gdad51 was listing an other sites for " make your own" kits........ which is very interesting....seems to be focused on using a male T rod that connects to a straight tube ...... mine is a solid bar rod about 1 1/2 in dia. double curved to fit around the drive shaft of the front axle and is threaded into the female part of the tie rod..... certainly worthy of further searching/discussion with them.

The LWD CMP Part dealer in Holland as some NOS TR in stock and he will nvestigate to see if he can locate a makers mark of part number..... but htey need to was the grease and /or cosmoline first
Oddly enough he also has the central stud of the same tie rod..... also greased up greased up wrapped and packed in a box marked FORD part number....
