Locate "hip-joint" from British car bone yard (Triumph I think). Part is stamped "MOWOG" which is what many MG's, Triumphs, Jags, Morris, etc had for part markings (similar to NISMO on our cars).
Cut old t-c rods to save hooked ends. Get a machine shop to internaly thread tube to match metric threads on hip-joint.
Have tube welded to hook ends (notice that tube is notched to give stronger/more weld area.
Great thing about this style adjustable T-C rod is that it attaches to stock lower control arm. My arm has spherical bearing pressed in, but most people have urethane bushings fitted already. No need to trash existing control arms for full tubelar (Arizona Z) versions.

I know a few people were following along on this- been a while since I last posted here- but finally all came together!
Mounted up and running strong! Still a few details to work out; but runs good, sounds good, feels good on the initial pulls. Super happy it worked out!

Well I decided to go for it -
Went with 42's and a TWM manifold. Still lots to sort out, but Ill start another thread on it somewhere and link it back here. Rought calculations hopefully put it in between an OER setup and a Mikuni PHH setup $wise.

I would probably do them in pairs, then each pair goes to a common shaft.

Part of running a single shared throttle shaft was for a super clean look- like how datsun_tokyo linked above has it.
I also still haven’t decided on the manifold- but was planning on the TWM one- seems to be the cleanest and allows me to run without all the linkages.
With that said I’m interested- I’ll shoot you PM.
