[DeTomaso] Tie rod thread size

[Julian Kift]

Les,


Thanks and yes I should have put 2 and 2 together that a British Cam Gears rack would be Imperial, the irony being that the UK was already metric by the time the Pantera came out!


Prior discussions seem to mostly refer to a metric tie rod ends as well, perhaps the interchangeability of the UNF and metric has everyone, including me, confused.


Julian

Julian,
      The rack assembly is British so I'm putting my money on US fine 9/16" or 5/8" thread. Don't have a rack in front of me to check though.......
      Mr. DeRyke would know off the top of head I would suspect .
