Default Re: 1935 with 1946 spindles which drag link?

I mean the bent tie rod assembly from the passenger side spindle to the pitman arm. Id like to use something original so i dont have to reinvent the wheel on the geometry.

Thanks Kevin

The drag link has to match the spindle at the front and the pitman arm at the back.

As an example using Speedway:

"These tie rod or drag link kits are pre-cut and tapped lengths of 7⁄8" O.D. tubing available multiple lengths. Kits come complete with 11/16" traditional 7° tie rod ends and jam nuts. Tubing will be tapped with right-hand & left-hand threads for adjustability.

Specify desired length in comments section of shopping cart. No returns/exchange on custom length links. Select your length based on the center-to-center of the tie rod ends, which will also be the eye-to-eye distance between the steering arms (the acutal tube will be 3-1/2" shorter than length selected). At selected length, the link will be adjustable from 1/2" shorter to 3/4" longer.

•Precut and tapped lengths of 7/8" O.D. tubing
•Available in these assembled lengths: 25.5", 28.5", 30", 32", 42.5", 44", 45", 46", 48", 52.5", and 54"
•Complete with 11/16" tie rod ends and jam nuts
•Adjustable from 1/2" shorter to 3/4" longer
•Available in plain steel
•All lengths measured eye-to-eye"
