Thanks guys, I'll give it a go as I've got to replace both wishbones as well..
The old tie rods are well & truly corroded, as is/was nearly everything on the car from years of salt spray on our roads!
So far £2000 & counting on new stuff as I just can't bear to part with this awesome piece of German design.. Love it to bits (literally)
Many thanks to you all on this forum, you've been a great source for info & inspiration..
