Nice easy one for you.....hopefully.

Where's the best place to get a cheap replacement drag link for my Drover?

Mine is banana shaped after playing at Yalwal all weekend.

I'm probably happy to go standard again.

Buy a new one from any decent parts shop
OR
strengthen yours by adding a piece of 4mm thickwall tube around it.
I reinforced mine with some tube I cut in half lengthwise and welded around the draglink.... haven't had a problem with it since... :wink:

Thanks fellas.

I'm thinking of staying stock though. to minimise the likelihood of the failure point becoming one of the rod ends, which would be a considerably more dramatic failure!

I'd very much prefer to limp home with a bend rather than a snapped rod end!

Or am i being overly cautious?

Mine is twin locked, runs 32" Centipedes and I give it a hiding. Never broken a tie rod end or even heard of a Zook rod end breaking.
