Spoke with summit machine, she will do 15 each on the adapters, 10 each on the nuts I placed an order she will be doing them next week or 2 with a similar run, if you want in call and tell her for rover and same as Ian and tom


now she did suggest doing all aluminum

They produce true for jeeps and trucks in an a
Aluminum. With memory that if you bend on rocks if bends right back, these should be threaded out size, tapered ends and machined wrench flats, quoted 298 for the pair plus shipping, I may change my order to that got to think on it

Aluminum? As in aluminum tube and adapters instead of DOM?
Hmmm, IDK. DOM is pretty stout stuff. I highly doubt it would get bent. Two 48" lengths of DOM is about $106 shipped from Ruffstuffspecialties.com Add another $100 for the ends and nuts.

Ahhh, ok. IDK seems like it'd be nice but probably overkill for a Disco.
Ian said you need about 3' and 4' lengths of 1.5" DOM which is $92 shipped. I'll probably do that with the adapters and nuts from Summit and sell my RTE stuff.

I had RoverTracks steering. It was stout, I should have kept it. I have RTE SS steering now. It's ok but it's stainless and softer than DOM. The drag link has just the faintest bend in it.
I run front and rear air lockers on 35's and will be going 1.5", 1/4" wall DOM. All the other kit HD steering including RTE and RoverTracks is 1.25" and 1/8" wall.

Check with Barnes 4x4 on Dom. He has killer shipping prices and is great to work with
