I’m hoping someone can identify this TRE.
Facts I do know:
1) it has the same size and pitch as the original Fj40 D/S TRE that attaches to the bell crank. I’ve confirmed this by screwing it into two different drag links.
2) the TRE taper matches the P/S pitman arm I have from a 9/1969 four door Chevy Bel Aire.
3) the threads on the TRE that go through the pitman arm are too large for a 13 mm open end wrench to fit over & a 14 mm wrench is loose.
4) it’s the perfect length to connect the steering everything together without a custom drag link. Off the shelf should be easier in the long run.
I got it attached to some cruiser parts 10-15 years ago. It looks like Toyota Hilux parts. The taper is much larger than my 1977 Landcruiser TREs.
I’m hoping to find a nut to complete the testing, and then ultimately replace this one and keep it as a spare.
Thoughts on application of the TRE? Nut size and pitch?
This is the closest I’ve found, but I can’t find any specs to confirm:
