Thanks Marlin,

It would have been nice to use a Heim with a grease nipple but M16 x 1 is a very unusual size. They are normally M16 x 1.5

I dont think they will break off because they are top quality at £40 - $64 each, made in Germany not China!
Also, at the other end of that tie rod there is another OEM Heim joint that threads into the end of the rack that is only 12mm. I have never heard of that one failing on a Mangusta.
I think most Heim joint failures (excluding the cheap Chinese ones) are due to the application exceeding the allowable misalignment. I spent a long time making sure mine would never exceed their misalignment angle.

As for the washers, I am ashamed to say they stayed. Your right, I am better than that! Maybe I will turn down some nice spacers tomorrow..
