Re: Spindle Tie Rod End Inserts

Measured the TRE 'pad' last night & it's 1.02~1.06 (PC'd). I think I'll order the bushings from McMaster Carr & see how they feel.

If I don't feel comfortable, I'll order the DOM tube pieces. Metal Supermarkets was like $12 for 2qty 1" pieces so if I can pick them up @ my local storefront that's very do-able. I'll need to do some 'mathing' as I want a snug/machined fit vs. an easy slip fit.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
