DIY Kafer Brace

[Steve C]

Hi

Im going to use tie rods for my brace when I get to that point. The good thing is if you need to trim them down in lenght, if you only cut the right hand thread side you will only need to buy a right hand thread tap which are much easier to find and cheaper to buy than left hand thread taps.

As far as hooking it up the ends to the tie rod threads, you could either leave the tierod as is and weld a tapered section onto the anchor or just have some U shaped clevis ends made up and weld them to the threaded section of a tie rod after you cut off the nuckle.
