Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Precision-cut 5/8" hole ensures consistent rod end bearing fitment without additional drilling
- Precision-cut 5/8" hole ensures consistent fitment for rod end hardware.
- 3/16" steel thickness provides solid strength for structural chassis applications.
- 3/16" steel thickness provides strong weld joints and load-bearing capability
- Radiused profile contours to 1-1/2" tubing for flush fitment and cleaner welds
- Radiused profile matches 1-1/2" tubing for flush contact and cleaner welds.
- Simple, purpose-built design speeds up fabrication without custom cutting.
- Ready to weld with no additional machining or preparation needed
- Compact 2-1/2" height keeps the mounting point close to the tubing for reduced leverage stress
👎 Cons
- Only fits 1-1/2" diameter tubing so a different tab is needed for other tube sizes
- Only fits 1-1/2" diameter tubing, requiring a different tab for other tube sizes.
- Single 5/8" hole size limits use to rod ends and hardware matching that dimension.
- Single 5/8" hole size limits use with rod ends requiring larger or smaller bore diameters
- Steel construction will require rust prevention treatment or coating after welding
- Sold as a raw steel component with no protective coating, so it will need paint or treatment to resist corrosion.
- No mounting hardware included.
- No mounting hardware is included with the tab
- 3/16" thickness may be lighter than some high-load competition applications require
Frequently Asked Questions
What diameter tubing does this rod end tab fit?
It is designed to fit 1-1/2 inch diameter tubing, with a contoured radius cut to sit flush against the tube surface for welding.
What size tubing does this rod end tab fit?
It is designed to fit 1-1/2" diameter tubing, conforming to the tube's curvature for a clean weld joint.
What is the hole diameter in this tab?
The tab features a 5/8" hole for mounting rod ends, bolts, or other hardware.
What is the hole diameter in this tab?
The tab has a 5/8 inch hole, sized for standard rod end bearings and hardware commonly used in chassis linkage applications.
What material is this rod end tab made from?
It is made from steel, suitable for MIG or TIG welding directly onto chassis tubing.
Is this tab ready to weld as-is, or does it need preparation?
The steel construction is weldable, though standard practice calls for cleaning the mating surfaces and ensuring proper fit-up before welding for the strongest joint.
What type of projects is this rod end tab used for?
It is commonly used in chassis fabrication, roll cage construction, and suspension linkage mounting where a rod end needs to be attached to round tubing.
Can this tab be used in roll cage construction?
Yes, its dimensions and weldable steel construction make it appropriate for roll cage fabrication and other chassis applications where rod end mounting points are needed.
What is the thickness of this tab?
The tab is 3/16 inch thick, providing a solid mounting surface that can handle the loads typical in chassis suspension and linkage setups.
