Update:
I went to install the adapter sleeves today from POL.
I'm using 71-72 drop spindles on my 69 disc brake swap.
I purchased 71-72 outer tie rods and 69 inner tie rods.
Heres the problem.
71-72 outers are RH thread.
69 inners are ALSO RH thread.
So I guess I have to purchase 69 outers and use them as inner tie rods so the will be LH thread and adjust properly.
I wish POL would have had this info on their website. NOT a big deal,... just a waste of money and a set back on todays progress.
