Hi Joe,

Yep...I had to fabricate a set for my C. I got the appropriate tie rod ends from Napa, then I took them and the old tie rod to my machine shop guy. He got the tubing stock, bored and threaded the holes. He also milled flat spots in the middle of the rods for a wrench to turn them when adjusting for alignment. I think he charged me something around $100 for the stock and labor...the rod ends were surprisingly spendy...I think I had to dish out about $45 a pair.

I can send you pics if you like. Just drop me a note.
