COS8 Tie Rod End — M8 × 1.25 Male
OTT COS8 is a male-thread rod end for kart tie rods, built to OEM standards and used as original equipment by leading kart manufacturers. The zinc-plated carbon-steel housing holds a hardened and ground GCr15 bearing-steel ball running in a bronze bushing liner, giving smooth steering articulation with minimal unwanted play and a long service life. Thread is M8 × 1.25 mm, offered in right-hand (COS8) and left-hand (COSL8) versions — a typical adjustable tie rod uses one of each. OEM / replacement fitment includes OTK / Tony Kart, Kosmic, Exprit, Redspeed and FA Kart.
