Right hand tap isn't a problem. It's only $16.50. I haven't bought any tube yet. I going to use 1" o.d. .250 wall and drill out ends to fit. Looking to use tie rod ends that will match the size and taper of the stock ends. That's all I have to go off of at this point. 11/16" 18tpi is the size and thread count for a stock tie rod end. Any suggestions of an alternate way would be appreciated. I have access to a mill and a lathe and am qualified to use them but they are too "cheap" to hold the tolerances needed to cut internal threads. Also I am a decent welder so if there is any kind of an insert available that would be helpful also. I can't use Heims because it's my daily driver still. Any help would be great. Thanks.
