Will I need a set for my 8.4" Metro vented disk setup?

If not what are they used for?

Commonly used when fitting adjustable camber bottom arms...
I believe Triumph Spitfire ones will fit too, but Kc sells the longer ones for Minis.

Matt
didn't know you could get longer tie rod ends Always thought that the way to pick up the extra length was to use the thick type steering arm to gain .24" on the thread of the tie rod.

Vizard suggests welding a nut onto the tie rod end to get more thread, but that's a pretty dodgy way to do it (and now illegal, probably).
