Cutting/Welding tie rods :)

[Stomp86]

Ok...im at a point where im about to upgrade the front of my hatchi to s13 coilies and brakes...and it all bolts up except the tie rod ends are too short and the "pin" part is too thin....therefore it rattles around..

someone sugested to me that i should cut half of a s13 tie rod with half of my sprinter one and sleave it and weld it back together....i am a bit worried about how strong this can be so i guess im after some opinions or other paths people have taken to overcome this problem

thanx
