[urq] Need tie rod for turbo conversion urgently

In one of our conversions we decided to see if the stock rod will work without bending, a year later and it was still fine (slight rub).
The bend does not have to be as severe as Ur-q, just a nudge... you can install it and see where the worse part is, mark, take off and bend in the vise... or if you are handy with a precision relocator (pry bar) you could bend it while still in the car (after heating it up with a torch).

>After ordering a unit from 2Bennett 4 weeks ago and enquiring why I had not received it last week and being informed that they were shipping it out to me, I followed up again today only to find they did not have the right one and may not be able to get one to me before next week.  Now I am in a pinch as this conversion needs to be completed by the weeks end.

>I am not too happy that 2Bennett did not understand my short timeframe that I reiterated plenty of times enought to have the decency to call me and inform that there would be a delay.  This car needs to be on the boat to Germany mid-next-week.
