Threaded inserts
Hello my little popsicles,
Does any one know of a supplier for weldable threaded inserts for use in the ends of wishbone tubes to take a rod end?
Or will I have to make them?
Cheers

mcgill motorsports on ebay
or rally design.
mcgills ones look like just a theaded peice of metal, rall design ones are like a top hat shape, 1" at the widest, don't know what the
narrowest is, but if you get the right wall thickness tube they fit nice and snug. i think the tube i got was like 2mm wall, maybe a bit more

Thanks chaps, I like the look of the Rally design ones but it doesn't look like you can get different outside diameters so I don't know
how they'd match up with the wishbone tube sizes I've got.
I've emailed them.
cheers

I'm using 25mm o/d, 2mm wall seamless, so I need a 21mm insert, I'd prefer the top hat type.
Marc, I need a grand total of four!
With a half inch UNF thread.
I'll mail you.
cheers
Chris

the tube i used seems to be 20mm i.d but i actaully measured the wall as well, and worked that you to be 2.6mm so kinda confused now, but i bought the
tube to fit the inserts snugly,
