    Brian, does Mal make the HD replacements ? They are only about 15 mins away from me.

    Just rang Leslie & Sons - the price is $195 per rod. Seems reasonable enough in comparison to other prices I've seen but freight to QLD will need some looking into as they seem more geared up to walk in/pick up sales.

    Send my brother a PM(lokka on here) he has done up several sets and may have some left there still, i think he was charging somewhere around 250 for both the track rod and drag link together but i dont remember exactly. Made from 36mm od pipe, i dont remember the wall thickness, mines taken a beating on 37s, the original track rod on mine bent before it made contact with anything due to the aditional stress put on them from the 37s driving through tight ruts.

    They are **** weak
