After my recent problems with wheel alingment im after a machine shop or someone that is interested in building these parts for us.
They are universal and can be used in all tie rods regardless of model and LHD or RHD.
Apparently GSF and EUROCARPARTS do not have those pars as individual parts and AUDI only sells the tie rod as a whole for about 100GBP which includes the rod end as well.
So if your tie rod end is seized and you are able to get it free with a gas torch or WD40 etc that is fine,you only end up needing possibly a rod end.
However if it seizes on the inner aspect, the bolts and screws may be damaged when trying to get it out in which case the adjuster is damaged and you are left with no solution than getting the tie rod itself.(which is what i had to do today).
So im thinking, making these adjusters shouldnt be a difficult job, and if we can find a machine shop and get a group buy, it might just work saving some money from needing new tie rods all the time.
Also now that Rob can supply with uniball inner fittings, the rod itself can last for a long time.
I will have within next week an adjuster that i can ship to anyone who has the means of doing this, to use as a template to copy.
Is anyone interested in this?
