My theory was to knock the ball studs out of everything and have arms reamed for the old Fjord style rod ends. The 11/16 ones. Speedway will sell you internally threaded tube in about any length you want. End up with adjustable tie rod and drag link. Could all be done relatively cheaply…not sure on the price of machining.
Anyone see any problems with that approach? IMO the easiest way with the least machining is to grind off the balls at the neck then drill and taper ream using Moog components as listed in a tech tip.
