Got it today for my Sons Chimera, but as noted in the reviews, the original countersunk screws do not fit the new aluminum 7075 mount. Doug, what size are they? Thanks!

They are 4mm x 12mm A very commen screw. Most people have a pile of screws laying on there bench and just find them but if you need them I can send you the two screws. LMK

I know. I don't have one to take a picture of..... Hold on. OK this is on a roller that is shipping out today...If you look close you'll see the new tie rod end we make now. We buy the ball and sleeve and press it into our own rod end. This is similar to the tie rod ends we will be making for our steering and upper arms. This mod to the heavy duty steering removed the last bit of play in the setup. We tested one and found less than.010 of play in the whole setup.
