Are they really original BIG 7 track rod ends? I have a Big 7 spares catalogue and in it the ends look as if they are the pin type like the baby 7. I used Morris Minor arms with tapers turned down and keyway cut to fit the big 7 stub axle ends. Morris ball track rod ends. The arms had to be bent down so track rod cleared under radius arms.....done by local Devon garage many moons ago (they also mended early farm machinery and televisions). The track rod was an old water pipe which I threaded at each end, but unfortunatly only had a RH thread die so have to take one ball joint out of arm to adjust tracking. Keep promising myself I will find a LH threaded die one day.....would make life easier.
Peter....easy enough to lengthen/shorten tube by cutting and joining ends together with a tube with same ID as track rod OD pushed over and ends welded round rod. Can be finished with a chamfered welded part so looks tidy and professional.
