Help! Track Rod on 90 bending

<< < (6/9) > >>

--- Quote from: "freeagent" ---when i bent the trackrod on my old defender, i went to our local steel stock holders, and bought a 6m length of 6mm-wall thickness stainless tube, there is a stock size that slides over your trackrod nicely.

it cost around £50, but you get enough to do the track rod and drag link on two defenders, and make a nice extension tube for your braker bar.

if you bought a quantity, i'm sure people on here would buy what you had left.

...oh, and it looks good aswell, as it stays nice and shiney...

I don't want a bar over my track rod.
I'm after a nice track rod with both the TRE's screwed into the rod and held in place with lock nuts.
A proper job that's easy to undo the TRE's

Buy one of the off the shelf options then, i'm very happy with mine.
One of the things I have noticed though is that the slightly dearer variants have flats on the end of the bars that take a spanner, this allows the bar to be properly gripped without resorting to stilsons.

Where from Litch.
I can get a track rod but not a drag link????  :oops:
Unless...............................................  :lol:

Litch:
Unfortunately I can't remember the name but they were at the early 2006 Sodbury, must admit I can't recall seeing them at the recent one. They were around the £100 mark (bars only) whereas I paid just £75 for the standard type including three TRE's.

LOL Yes I can buy them over the counter like you say with Three TRE's.I want four TRE's.

Anybody know if the LDV TRE's are the same as a Land Rover?
