When we ran a full service chassis fab/turn-key hot rod shop a number of years ago, it was always useful to have threaded things around to weld into the frame for some kind of mount, etc.
Here’s a list of all our threaded things for your reference:
Hairpin Wishbone Mounting Kit
Upgrade your suspension setup with our Hairpin Wishbone Mounting Kit, designed for a clean, functional, and traditional appearance. This kit allows you to mount an early Ford tie rod end (not included) to a split radius rod or hairpin through a 2″ wide boxed frame, providing robust support and a streamlined aesthetic.
Key Features:
- Traditional Exterior Look: From the outside of the frame rail, the mount has a traditional style without a bracket protruding below the frame, preserving a clean, classic look.
- Clean Interior Finish: On the inside of the frame, only a sleek button head bolt is visible—no exposed cotter pins to snag cleaning rags or cut your knuckles.
- Taper Lock Design: The innovative taper lock system ensures secure mounting by evenly supporting the tie rod end across the entire tapered section and all threads. This design minimizes stress points and enhances durability.
- Durable Fasteners: Available with your choice of black or stainless steel button head bolts, combining aesthetics with long-lasting performance.
What's Included:
This comprehensive kit includes components for both sides of your frame:
- 2 frame bungs
- 2 tapered adapters
- 2 threaded couplers
- 2 split pins
- 2 internal tooth lock washers
- 2 1/2"-20 button head bolts
Note:
- Early Ford tie rod ends are NOT included. These must be sourced separately to complete your installation.
With precision-machined components and a thoughtful design, this kit is perfect for builders who value functionality, durability, and a tidy appearance. Whether you're building a hot rod or restoring a classic vehicle, our Hairpin Wishbone Mounting Kit ensures a professional-grade result.
