Default Tie rod sleeves....help

I'm looking for 11/16"-18 sleeves for my wife's mustang and having a hard time. I have Ridetechs but they're to short. I've learned that early Camaro and some mopar use the same thread size, if you've got aftermarket TR sleeves could you get me an end to end measurement?

I'm looking for 5.25(ish) and if they're longer, is it a style that could be machined/cut down?

I just went thru this exercise when figuring out what sleeves/tre's to get for a custom steering setup. I ended up looking on Moog's website and sorting by sleeve length, then looking at individual sleeves until I found 11/16-18. Some of the detail pages for sleeves on Moog's site don't have the thread listed, but if I looked up the same part number on the O'Reilly website it actually listed the thread size and length etc every single time.

If you're comfortable with 0.25" less thread engagement per end, then I found this one during my research (4.75" overall length)..

Thanks Joe, that actually helps quite a bit. I'm waiting for the new rod ends to show up and have sent an email off to Global West to confirm the dimensions on Impala sleeves.
I'm probably being a bit anal with the thread engagement and the amout of threads exposed but, whatever.
Thanks again

i bought some from lefthander chassis. I used the left handed thread and cut to length and tapped the right handed thread side. If you go that route make sure to get the jam nuts.
