i think i might have something figured out im just gonna weld some 1 inch solid stock to the tie rod and the housing and use a couple washers to ensure a tight fit sound like a plan
 
Flat stock will work fine (have fun drilling through it ;))

Make sure you make the tabs long enough (to keep the ram as parallel to the axle and tie rod as possible) but not too long (you don't want the ram contacting either).

Are you going to put the washers on the outside of the ram (i.e. under the cotter pins) to keep the pins from bouncing around?
