Topic: 67 tie rod sleeve nut finish

[Bossbill]

I have 4 or 5 sets of steering linkages laying about.

All of the 67/68 P/S systems I have utilize 5/16-24.
My manual steering parts car (Mar 67) uses this size as well.

Except for the Competition Suspension (CS) P/S on the Shelby.
Those are 3/8-24, are marked TR with 3 radial lines and use a larger red lock nut.
The Shelby uses the same nut/bolts as a manual steering 65/66 steering linkage I also have.
Makes me wonder if Ford went bigger for the CS?

If you need 5/16-24 nuts or bolts, PM me.

I have 4 or 5 sets of steering linkages laying about....
...If you need 7/16-24 nuts or bolts, PM me.

Thanks, I will need to look. I took the issue off of my to do list so perhaps I've answered that. I'll look in the a.m.

Guessing that you mean 5/16" - 24 NF ??

After all that thinking about 67s I inadvertantly typed 7, not 5.
Corrected above.

Thanks for catching that.
