A very strong part for upgrading your suspension & steering

I used this tie-rod adapter to replace the upper ball-joint on the TR-6 front suspension in my '71 TVR. The pinto taper was a perfect fit and the suspension accepted a standard 5/8" rod-end. the benefit was allowing camber change with only 180 degrees of turn of the rod-end over 360 degrees with the ball joint. It was a true "bolt-in" change. I will pass the idea on to my TVR forum.
