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.

If you are stuck on 11/16-18, then get some inserts that weld into tube from one of the vendors on POR. Personally, I'd try and dig up some TRE's with a more common thread size on the shank. I think the problem you will run into is having to enlarge the taper to match the pin though. That's pretty easy to do with an 1.5"per foot reamer from Goodson or Stock Car Products.
