[s-cars] Need Heim Links for HSRSB

[brian bilotti]

Doug,
Contact Dave Stone @ Performance Machine works ltd
dave at pmwltd.com.
With the help of Trevor Frank we came up with the
correct length and right and left handed threads for
each bar end. Use antiseize and it turns like butter.
You'll also want the 1" collars to keep the bar from
shifting side to side.
