the threads on the trackbar (inside the tube) are 11/16" x 18 which is why the TRE fit...
i have yet to find a better replacement than drilling out the tube and tapping it for 3/4" standard fine thread and running a RE bracket with an RE joint...
When i did my 44 swap, i had the RRO light duty adjustable trackbar with the TRE (a re-labled rusty's product) and planed on upgrading to a TNT frame mount and drilling the tracbar tube to 3/4" fine and running an RE joint, but ran out of cash and time, so just cut the tube down and paid out the ass at the local machine shop for an 11/16" x 18 tap.
11/16" x 16 is standard fine thread, and 11/16" x 18 is TRE and aparently trachkbar threads...
just an FYI..
i still plan on running a TNT customs frame mount with a RE large joint, but lack funding to put that together right now.
I have no issues with the bar part of the trackbar, and will run it till i break it, but i dont like my TRE, and i dont like Rusty's frame bracket, and i dont like the poly bushing...
this is my expierence thus far...
oh - and Rusty's changed their TRE from the one that i used when i bought their bar from a Moog ES140R.
