Mustang II rack inner tie rods are the same on both sides. If you use a die grinder to shorten them, just buy a standard thread file to clean up the ends. You shouldn't need a die to clean them. I have done a ton of these racks this way and never had an issue. Another trick if you don't want to bother with a thread file is to just taper the very end with a grinder.
