Well aren't YOU just everyone's best friend? hahaha.

Personally, I don't mind paying somebody to do the research for me on what size, length, etc for the rod ends, plus the tie-rod, plus provide the hardware. then assemble it all into a kit for me, so that I can simply ORDER it, and then INSTALL it.... without worrying if I ordered the wrong one, waiting to see if it'll arrive correctly, hoping that the bolts I sourced are correct, etc etc etc.

And I know that personally, if I were offering a service / product on a forum and you hijacked my thread to tell everyone how to get my service / product without me, I'd probably wish you had started your OWN thread about it.

but that's just me, and my sense of decency.

I agree with you. Certainly you have a backend investment of time associated with the development particulars for the part. I recognize the value ($$ - time being money) in that effort. Personally, I commend you.

Further, anyone could source parts to fabricate half-the stuff "sold" upon these forums. That's the easy part.

Keep up the good work. Thank you.
