OE Tie Rod

[bkdunha]

In my continued pursuit of concourse judging it is a never ending process of research and documentation. I recently came across the attached article from Marcus Anghel who owns Anghel Restorations in AZ. His work is top notch and he is a good reference to talk with. He does specialize in the models earlier to the 71-73, but does have a vast amount of knowledge on our chosen years as well. I hope this article can help others

Nice article, I noticed the tie rod bolts and nuts were listed as 5/16 -20 coarse thread design. Standard coarse thread is 5/16 -18.
Wonder if the 5/16 - 20 was a typo or they really were 5/16 -20 which would be a rarity. Standard fine thread is 5/16 -24.
