Yes it's a Tie Bar, wonder why it does not have one. Should be able to get one at just about any of the sponcer sites.

Yea it should be there, someone took it off. They are easy to put on. You just have to get the rite size.

Default Swap Shop

Keep an eye open in the swap shop, they come up every now and then. Thought there was one in this post but haven't looked lately.

I have a tie bar for Latham steering. Probably will not work for your application.

It appears that you do not have external steering, and some setups do not have the tie bar if no ext steering.

If you have the inner tiebar, I wouldn't use the exterior one too. Using both can put a tons of stress on the steering tiller, gimble rings when trim at different amounts. The lenght between the points where the ext tie bar mounts changes as the drives trim further apart, while the inner bar always remains the same lenght. Something has to give! Steel doesn't stretch or compress here.
