Tie Bars - Rose Joints
I'm thinking of using M12 male rose joints to anchor the tie bars on my robin hood (spit spit, gargle) to the chassis
Are these sufficient or should I go bigger? All data for shear strength etc would point to them being ok, thoughts...
PS, am drunk and about to order them online, along with a whole host of other things I havn't got round to buying yet, so any quick reply would
be mucho appreciated

i think i read on the old trackstore website (they were good too  where did they go?!) thaqt M12 or 1/2" should be the minimum considered for
race car suspension, therefore i'd say for road use they'll be fine 
that said, all my suspension it 5/8" rose joints...

tart very much, they have a shear force of 2.5 tonne so I guess they are ok

Hi
If possible always use a UNF threaded joint. With it being a finer thread it means any adjustments can be made to a finer tolerance.
Cheers Matt
