And what is the tread count and size of the D2 ends?   marc olivares (Pugs) Senior Member Username: Pugs Post Number: 332 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 04, 2004 - 07:15 pm:    no they are different, the D1 is 11/16-16 and the D2 is metric. i want to say 16X1.50 but i'll have to check my tap when i get home to make sure. also the D2 rods have a rod end that is a press fit, so if you're thinkin' of making new rods, you need to tap both ends with a left hand thread. marc   Will Cupp (W_cupp) Senior Member Username: W_cupp Post Number: 336 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Wednesday, February 04, 2004 - 07:20 pm:    Do you know the pitch?   marc olivares (Pugs) Senior Member Username: Pugs Post Number: 333 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 05, 2004 - 04:30 am:    hey Will, i was wrong, the D2 rod end thread pitch is M18x1.5 (metric left hand). i assume this is what you want or are you looking for the taper degree? if so, you would have to pull of an end and check with an angle finder, as i have no idea. hope that helps? marc   Will Cupp (W_cupp) Senior Member Username: W_cupp Post Number: 338 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Thursday, February 05, 2004 - 09:55 am:    Yea, I guess that is what I am looking for...
