twin stick

how does everyone run the linkage? Looks like four 5/16" heim joints. But all the pictures I see have very short linkages. The stock 27" linkage rod is about 21" longer than any picture I have seen.
All I can come up with, is to use some all thread and slip conduit over it and weld.
I know there has got to be a better setup without buying a kit.

Do a tube with a threaded insert for the heim. 1 left hand thread heim & 1 right hand thread will allow you to fine tune the length on the rod.

Similar to what people do for the tie rod or drag ling on cross over front ends


Here's pics of my tie rod. Think this, just smaller scale
