but everyone here is right the track rod ends are standard, if your frp has not had them replaced before you have to remove the rivets and replace with bolts...take time to ensure your lower wishbones are in good condition, no signs of cracking or damage. Rust can eat them away too...definitely worth a biot of brush down and respray...

I think you are getting the track rods confused with bottom ball joints, track rods connect the steering rack to the knuckles, bottom ball joint connects the wishbone to the knuckle and is held on with rivits whilst the track rod ends simply screw on to the threaded steering arms
