I know alot of people like to run square tubing for there long arms, and rear coil conversions. I was thinking about making square tubing inserts, with different thread sizes, left and right hand threads. Would anyone else be interested in these. Tubing size would be 1.5" .250 wall and 2" .250 wall. I am making some for myself and while I have the lathe and mill set up I am going to make a few extra.

Sizes right now. More to come when tooling arrives.
1" - 14 Right and Left
7/8 - 14 Right tooling should be here in a few days for the lefts hand taps.
3/4 - 16 Right and Left
I will carry the 1 1/4 for the larger johnny joints later on.
Price: 14.00 each for any size.
I can be paid through paypal as well.

I would be interested but the price seems a little steep.

Damn, if I just didn't buy 2 round inserts, for 15.00 ea. 
edit: I need the 1.25 12 pt thread anyway.

Have you priced the regular round tube inserts? For the heavy duty ones. They cost more. The square takes more time than the round ones. You have to relieve the edges for it to fit into the square tubing. The inside of square tubing is not square. so the 4 corners has to be milled, and then the front has to be cut down for the jam nut. I guess this is why no one makes them. But they slide in nicely and will cut down your build time.

Thanks for doing this. I'll need them for my fronts.
Thanks for your post, a lot of people thinks 14.00 is bad for these. I thought it was good. What size do you use? Also I will have them on my website pretty soon.

Naw, 14.00 is fine as long as it's not another 15.00 for shipping.
I need the larger, right hand thread 1.25 12 pt.

Thank you, if you don't look into the work of it you really would not see the cost. but material is 10.40 a foot alone and you get about 7 pieces out of that. Then add the machining and tooling that it requires, it cost. The reason I started making these is cause no one else had them. I will be running square tube 4 links in the rear.

I will mail using usps flate rate packaging should be around 10.00 or less depending on how many you get. Let me know when you will need them, just send me a pm and I will get them ready for you. I have everything blanked out and ready for your size.

I would have bought some from you a few months ago, but I slaved over making some of my own for hours. $14.00 is a very fair price for those, I made mine out of 1.5" solid and by the time I was done I had at least a days work to make 4, and this was in a full machine shop.
