Default adhesive for rubber

An option would be loctite I think it is 420 very handy and strong, most bearing places should have some. It is used to make oddball o-rings from round or square cord, I have used many times and have never had any failures someone at the bearing shop should be able to clarify the product, if you keep it in the fridge it helps to keep for a good time.
enjoying the ride so far keep up the good work

No, the CMP tie rod ends are threaded over the tie rod, not into it.

Default Tie Rods & rubber glues

Oh what a bastard! I thought I was onto two of these really cheap.

On a different note, I have bought several types of glues to test for jointing the corners of outer window frame rubber seal. The best found so far is Loctite Super Glue 'Control'. Touted to be "Strongest Ever". Over coming few days, I will be testing the strength of the bond I made this morning, with a number of tests of flexability, resistance to water and to heat.

Would you believe that the parts I have painted thus far have used 9 litres of top coat? At $67.00 for 4Lt tin, I don't begrudge using it either.
