I currently have drop spindles and disc brakes on the front with original arms and spring. The arms have been messed with by the PO.
1)With my original cross member will the tube arms bolt up OK?
2) Then I can get outer tie rods and tie rod adjusting sleeve made to convert from 67-70 threads to 71-72 threads? Some one posted part # CPP CP4SC-SAP for sleeve. But that converts to a 73+?
3) Any idea if they make one to convert to 71-72?

1) yes
2) yes. Read post below about match thread pitch direction.
You have to have a RH/LH assembly. So use 67-70 outers at the INNER location. Then screw a 71-72 outer at the OUTER LOCATION to match your spindle.
3) use the one that says 73-87. It’s the same 11/16” diameter as your 71-72 tie rod.
BUT ALL OF THIS MISMATCH OF PARTS COULD BE ELIMINATED IF: you would use direct bolt on 63-70 conversion spindles.
You decided where you want to spend your money.
New spindles? Or buying a bunch of parts to make what you have work.
