looks pretty,

Be any flex in the steering the way you extended it? Trying to wrap my head around it, but i can picture is it moving left and right, Though im sure you have done your home work, so who am i to second guess you LOL

Keep it up

The tie rod extender mounts to the hub with a taper so it is solid on the perpendicular plan to the hub, acting as a peg, the rose joint gives the movement needed for in and out ( steering)and up and down(suspension) but only by swiveling.

Hope that helps.

**** that's cool!!

Looks good, dude. Glad I could be of assistance. :)

Ahhh i get it now, Thanks

FYI, it does put a lot more force on the bolt being that long (load-fulcrum-effort deal). But plenty of people seem to do it (and get them engineered like it) so it must be ok.. I guess.

What does rego have to say about these extensions?

Frowned apron I'd imagine but then so are 4/5 th of the things on this car.
