Chris Abel Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Ive got to get a the tie rods for my hydro steer on my portals and im using 20mm rose joints either end ive chosen to use a left and a right handed thread on either end so all i got to do is turn the tie rod to addjust the tracking without removing the rose joints. Obviously i need to ge some 20 mm female threads on either end of the track rod. Ive got a 20mm Right hand tap so its no problem to drill and tap but where do i find a 20mm left hand tap? Is it posible to do on a laithe without a tap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtydiesel Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Screw cutting an internal left hand thread will not be a problem for a reasonably skilled machinist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
