Default Pinto rack / tie rod ?

Hey Guys,

I am fabbing up a pinto steering rack for my Camaro and I need extensions that attach to the end of the rack (1/2" thread) and convert to 5/8" to accept a rod end. I have looked everywhere but am not having any luck.
Thanks

Same boat as me dude. I bought a flaming river manual rack (pinto) for dirt cheap on ebay. I paid 100 bucks for it brand new (lists for 218ish at Summit). I have looked everywhere for the tie rod ends and the steering shaft. I can find the full-manual kits here and there, but they are like 400-500 bucks for everything, they don't sell the stuff separate. I'll keep looking and I'll post up if I get any luck.

Call up madman or BMR. I'm sure either one of them would sell you the parts you need
