  My computer died a few weeks ago along with folders and files for sources of parts I've accumulated over the years. I need to build a-arms and I'm at a loss trying to find a particular piece for the build and need your collective help. I use rod-ends as upper ball joints and I need to find the adjustable mounting sleeve. This piece fits into the a-arm and allows for on-the-car camber adjustments. It's basically a threaded hex sleeve turned down to fit inside a fixed tube on the a-arm. It's the part pictured circled in red. Also a picture on a car for reference. 

Anybody know of a source for these sleeves????

It's not just a threaded bung, it's an adjustable sleeve that fits inside a piece of tubing and allows it to rotate for adjustment. I could take a piece of hex stock, turn internal threads and then machine off most of the hex portion so that the OD is a few thousandths shy of the ID of the a-arm tube. 
 

This is the piece that I'm after. The interior threads would need to be 5/8"-18 or 3/4"-16.
