Track Rod protection.

(1/4) > >>

Topple:
I keep bending the track rod on my 90, without doing anything too extreme.

I've looked at the Dan Bars, but at £30ish I thought there must be a cheaper way. I've found a local stockist where I can buy some steel tube to slide over the track rod.

From my conversation on the phone the wall thickness is 4.5mm, so I figure that this will be sufficient coupled with the existing track rod to prevent too much bending.

The problem is that the minimum length I can buy is 6m. :!:  

So here's the deal, I will cut the rod into 1120mm lengths, the track rod length for a 90. and sell them in the for sale section. You can then paint them up and slide over the track rod, add some grease or silicone between the two to stop then rattling.

I guess the price would be around £10 per bar.

pm me if your interested, I will be going Thursday or Friday to check the diameters and collect.

Hmmmmm i've followed you in yr 90 a few times now :wink:

Andy.:
Does the same measurement and fittment apply to a Discovery :?:

Dave:
If you cut two slits in each end and put a clamp around the ends it will not rattle nor slide. :wink:
They were selling some at billing.

don't know, i havn't got a disco to measure against. I would be willing to cut to the correct length if known.
