How can I go about finding a tube adapter that is 3/4 x 10 tpi? All the ones sold are 3/4 x 16. Could a machine shop build something like this?
Just curious, why do you want a courser thread? Finer threads give more strength. Also if you have something nonstandard it will be more of a hassle getting replacement parts. Not knocking your plan just curious.How can I go about finding a tube adapter that is 3/4 x 10 tpi? All the ones sold are 3/4 x 16. Could a machine shop build something like this?
I need a tube adapter that will thread onto my ford radius arms. I am adapting them to heims. The only radius arms that come with heims are too long for my mj and are expensive. I talked to a machine shop today, I am going to buy the 5/8" tube adapters and the machine shop will drill and tad them to 3/4 x 10.

why not just use 2" .5 wall?You are definitely right, I talked to a buddy and the tnt kit has 1 1/4" super flex joints. I don't know what stone crusher is thinking selling radius arm extensions for f/s fords with 3/4 inch heims.
I would appreciate some input on my this idea: I would use a tube adapter that will thread onto my radius arm. this will be welded on the end of a piece of 1 1/2 x .25 dom. Then I will sleeve that with 2 x .25 dom with a 1 1/4 heim joint on the end that mounts to the chassis. This assembly will only be as long has it has to be to fit the heim and radius arm stud. Once it is assembled I will weld the assembly to the end of the radius arm and add a gusset on the bottom and plating on both sides.
You shouldnt be trying to thread anything onto the stock arms.There are several good threads on making longer arms(modified stocker's) that are 1-piece.You are definitely right, I talked to a buddy and the tnt kit has 1 1/4" super flex joints.

It wont sleeve 1 1/2" od tubing
I have seen some of those on bronco forums, they are a little more then I can do with the tools that I have at my disposal. Essentially mine will be one piece. I am just using the factory stud as another point of strength. I am going to weld the tube to the radius arm. I will also have a lot of steel added in there.
