Hopefully someone out there can help me out. I need to make new upper control arms to replace the Boig designed ones on my EP Miata. He used a 5/8"-18 Thread by .500 rod end that fits into an adjustable Barrel Nut. The closest I've found are 3/4" in the Link below:

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Great people. Super helpful and not expensive. Thats a rare combination.
No affiliation, just a happy customer who would do business again in a heartbeat.

EDIT. sorry I thought you needed the bearing. But......

You can buy from Coleman Racing Products a 5/8-18 "threaded tube end" that slides right in to a 1" id or just run a tap into some tube The Barrel nut is cool but I find it quick an easy to just pop the upper ball joint and adjust 1/2 turn at a time on the heim As payment for the trouble there is no chance it can become loose as the upright prevents it from turning out. Sorry I didn't read more carefully and good luck.
 
I would try talking to Tony Ave or Riley Technologies. This was common on 80's through 2000ish Trans-Am cars, they may have the part you need in stock.
 
An option would use the 3/4" barrel nut, along with the correct tubing size at the center of the new "A" arm.
Purchase a Heim joint with a 3/4" shank and a 5/8" ball hole, and sleeve the 5/8" dimension down to 1/2".
