Adjustable Heim Joint Fabrication Kit – Chromoly Linkage & Frame Mount
Build a custom, heavy-duty linkage and anchor point in one go. This complete fabrication kit combines our adjustable X-Series Chromoly Rod End Linkage with a heavy-duty weld-on frame tab and hardware.
It is the perfect all-in-one solution for mounting brake torque arms, custom shifters, or motor mounts where you need both the adjustable linkage and a solid mounting point on the frame.
