After some bondo it was time to spread filler primer.





And then I had to sand it smooth...



Both sides, of course.



Then some black primer.



Air is full of paint dust...

New mount and fresh paint.

Actually when the drivers side broke it tweaked the right side, hope to get them off tomorrow and check out the right side, depending on what I find I may need the right side.
I'll let you know . OKay?

Would this help shipping from the U.S.?
Me being a scatter brain at times, missed adding the link.

Might want to check into it.

I also checked car-part.com and didn’t find anything.

Kennedy American lists the inner tie rods as available, $98.  Don't know if any of the other AMC vendors have them available or not.  Good luck!

Suspension, Steering, Brakes, Wheels & Tires / Tie rod threads

Can't leave well enough alone.....
When I separated the inner tie rod from the rack the other month rather than using a separator tool I backed off the crown nut, put it upside down, threaded it back on until it was flush with the tie rod bolt and whacked it with a hammer like I've done with the outer tie rod ends and the ball joints. For whatever reason this mangled the threads and when I went to tighten the nut it spun out on the threads.
Long story short me and a shop chased the threads and put a new crown nut on last month and it tightened up fine. Then on Saturday the klunking comes back, so I look underneath and the nut's simply gone and the cotter pin's sheared off. Had to use a washer and a nail to get it back home but oh man were we close to disaster!  :o
For whatever magical reason, outer tie rod ends are still available for $13. Inner tie rod ends are not available from anyone. Since we cannot renew the remaining threads and a replacement is not available what would I do? Tap it to the next size? How would I machine that down?

I saw Gronk about a year ago at the Denver swap meet.  Due to things he has going on in his personal life, he has taken a break from the carb business.  He still has lots of carbs that need to be rebuilt so he may get back into it at some point, but everything is on hold at this time.

Good luck!

I haven"t seen gronk active here in years nor have I seen any activity on his ebay sore in a few years. I do have one of the carbs he sold in the past. not well made and there multiple places they are available. IF I had a chance to do it over, and wanted to stick to a carb, I would get a Edelbrock carb and a 258 adapter, or get a fuel injection kit.
There are some that have been able to make the factory bbd carb work, in my opinion it takes a bit more patience/TIME than I have.
Then there is Clifford Performance.

Hello everybody. I am new to this forum. I'm looking for any info on how to contact gronk performance for a carb kit to get my eagle project on the road. I've reached out via Facebook but haven't heard back for weeks now. Is gronk still in the carb game? Thanks for reading this
