Benn's on going build

[dgbnova#1]

What stops the track rod going up then ? The pin is smaller than the hole being drilled

[BRoadGhost]

The tapered insert is an interference fit into the drilled knuckle; rod end just bolts up from underneath.

But my way would also work I belive and it would be a compression fit the nut would always keep it in place and no chance it can move up

Ben's diagram is correct; drill it out straight then whack in the tapered insert.

That looks awesome. Any more pics/info/build thread? Sound like you have alot of knowledge would be sweet to see your nova.

Cutting out the arches to get dem lows is cheating

Would this not be better so the insett tightens up along with the track rod? Ether that or I sketched trees

Welding a re drilling is ok, but if i have any prob, i can remove the sleeve and change it back to the std way.

And the pic is on it's side

haha yes.

The sleeve will have a bottom to it, so where the nut is it will have a edge so to speak, so when its done up the sleeve wont more at all. Plus it will be a tight/press fit. So it shouldn't more at all.

I keep telling him too...

Yes, but think of how nice a full lock would be..

Ok that makes more sence then if it's got a shoulder to stop the incert moveing up

[Johnny A]

Yes, but think of how nice a full lock would be..

I get full lock on mine, I tested it when I moved the estate outside last

[Benn]

Lucky you john.
