Need to make custom relay rod and tie-rod for a fj40 build which has 62 disc brake parts and a fj60 power steering conversion. Called BudBuilt and they are not able to due to Rona impacts and other reasons. Seems like it is tough to find a machine shop that can do it OEM style with threads reamed into DOM tubing.
Thinking of building them my self using DOM tubing, welded threaded inserts, and jam nuts. Looking for advice:
1) dom tubing spec (OD and ID)
2) 21 mm and 23 mm threaded inserts to weld on to dom tubing of spec above. Can you recommend a source? I am using a combination of 60 series and 70 series tie-rods. Hence the 21mm and 23 mm threads.
3) Best weld method.
