drag link questions

[JasonS]

Anybody know the difference between the gasser (7521371) and multifuel (10897161) drag links?

Are the ball studs the same (1.25")?

Anybody know the ball stud shank diamter at the narrow end?

Thanks!

I would think they are the same. Not sure why the different part number. When I converted the M108 to mulitfuel, I think I used the multifuel drag link. Just because it was in better shape. Actually, I ended up putting all the steering parts from the mulitfuel on.

Gasser draglink is 5/8" longer (at the st.knuckle end). Everything else is the same for both.

Nominal ball diameter is 1-1/4" (measuring exactly 1.244")
Shank diam. (on steering arm ball stud) is threaded 5/8"-11, cone starts at little over 3/4" and goes up to 7/8" max.

See, someone knows more than me! Wonder why the longer draglink. Steering box and axle are in the same spot on gasser's and multi's.

So, if I were specifying a custom drag link, what is the "correct" length?
