HELP! Sandy I need info on the NOS tie rod tips

Post by negusm »

I think Green Sales sent me two different ones.

The main part (black) is the same but the bolt sticking out of the boot is not.

If I measure from the top of the boot to the end of the bolt, one is:

1"

One is:

1.25"

Sandy, what measurement are yours?

Should I send the shorter one back for the longer one?

The 1.5" is correct. Mine are both 1.5" using that measurement that you refer to.
The total length of the piece is 6.5"

My tags (green) say BIRD E7SC - 3289-BA WhatEVER THAT means.....

Wait.......I screwed up. I measured it again. It's exactly ONE INCH from the narrower end of the grey/black boot to the tip of the nut. Okay?
VERY SORRY, Had no reading glasses & couldn't really see too good. Now I can C
