I just ordered some 16" coilovers, so I am gonna lengthen my wheelbase and change my link configuration and replace the links. I got my tube adapters from spidertrax for 1 3/8" tube, but I am gonna get some for 1 1/2 tube if I can find them cheaper than I have seen them going for.
WWW.rockequipment.com has them for $15, but I cant find anyother dealers that sell them for that size of tube. ANy of you guys know of other sources that are cheaper?

I use 1-3/8 bar stock for my links! :D

$30 for a set of adapters, and you've paid for 10' of 1018! ;)

yeah, 1 1/4" heims would be nice, but I already have 3/4" heims. How long till the 3/4 adapters will be ready and how much for them

MORE has the 3/4 16 and larger tube size for 12 bucks each IIRC

We are working on a design that will use a pinch bolt that will be machined into the adapter. This will eliminate the use of jam nuts allowing for more clamping force and adjustment. Don't you hate it when your nutz get loose?

As for an ETA, I am not totally sure but probably within the next few months. If you need them now I would go with MORE, AVALANCHE, or Spidertrax. All are pretty comparable IMO.

We have the tube ends for the 1 1/2" x.250 wall tubing. They go for $12 each.

Thanks guys! Looks like MORE has them the cheapest, so far:flipoff2:

Magoo-I need some tube adapters for 3/4 16 rod ends that will fit 1 1/2"x 1/4" dom tube. Do you have any? How much? I need 8 of them

I don't have any in stock, but I can crank them out Monday. Price, right around $10 each for 8, or $80 plus shipping (I'm closer too!). 3/4-14 internal thread, 2" long, 1 1/2" OD, with a 1" x 1 1/2" shoulder sound good? I don't think you need Left handed ends, but if you do let me know.

Sorry I haven't responded sooner, I was out of town for the 4th. Got back yesterday to take care of some family buisness, and just remembered my post for your ends.

Let me know here or through email: centurymachine@hotmail.com
Thanks,
