Thanks LEM for the info. Glynn

Could someone tell me the size and thread count of these tie rod threads? Glynn.

Both the HAMB and the Barn are awesome. I've gotten so much from both worlds. Thanks to all in the community who shared with the rest of us. Glynn.

I appreciate all the help from you guys, Thanks, Glynn.

Thanks Bruce, It looks like the 8 and 7/8 inch is the length I need to make it. This site sure is awesome. Glynn
