CPT Drag Link

The CPT drag link kit I ordered, arrived a couple of days ago (very fast shipping, thanks), and I have a question and a couple of comments.

Do you recommend using an anti-sieze compound where the tie-rod ends thread into the body?

The left-hand thread tie-rod end fits fine, but the right-hand thread tie-rod end has a black coating and the tolerances are quite snug. When I thread the rh tre in, it scrapes the coating off the threads. I'll have to use vise-grips or something to hold the body while I thread the tre, but I think it'll be ok.

If you'd machine a couple of shallow flats into the body, in future production runs, it would alleviate using vise-grips or a pipe wrench for adjustments which will score the body.
My 2 cents.

I'm looking forward to getting it installed. Thanks, Mike
 
I do suggest a liberal amount of antiseize be applied before installation. We would do it here before it leaves except antiseize can be some very messy stuff.

Sorry about the rh tierod being snug. I'm sure some antiseize will help.

Will take note on the flat spot recommendation.

Thanks and have a great weekend.
