Default Tie bar for 888 drive

Anyone ever put a tie bar set up on one of these? I would like to, and also drive showers of some kind. Anyone have any experience with this?

nope... thats a phragle original. and the only problem was my bone headed use of cheap steel heims... replaced with staInless and good to go. Theres really not much to building one if you have a press and a lathe........

I have a stainless 1-1/4" tie bar with the stainless heim ends if you still need one, the heim ends only have about 20 hours of running time before we went to all new steering and bars.
