Hi there I have a been lurking here for a while and figured this is the best knowledge place for this question. I have an austin mini that has been lowered and I want to correct the bump steer on it.I am looking to source some parts to use the factory steering arms but with extenders like these

or these

Since these top mini specific ones are almost $500 I think I can do it cheaper. All I should need is:

Rod ends
LH & RH threaded hex tube 1/2" UNF
extender studs

Can anyone help me located the hex tube and extender studs (if that is even what they are called).

thanks Ryan

UB Machine Inc. will probably custom machine the tapered studs for you if they don't have something off the shelf.
