I am finding that my ball and socket parts are wearing out. The sockets are enlarging and one ball actually broke at the threads leaving me with a 3 cylinder car. Where can I find some new ball and socket parts to replace my linkage parts on my dual Weber setup. I found some m8 balls with threads but no socket with thread bolt attached.
 
I have a few but located in The Netherlands. Let me know if you don't find anything local. Happy to ship for 5 euro + postage.
Double check: I think you're looking for m6 threads, as I've never seen m8 threads on a carb.
 
When I need the ball and socket parts I go out to Pick and Pull and snap a few off a MBZ diesel car. That's how I adapted a Q-jet linkage to my euro 4-bbl manifold linkage.
 
here is a picture of the broken ball

You are looking for the NLA plastic end I found these at Boats.net under Yamaha parts

Boats.net <[email protected] Thanks, Rick

They plastic part still works but the socket that screws into it has gotten bigger and I am trying to figure out what size ball this is and where can I need one with the threads attached, if you look close you will see the threaded stud is broken and the second nut is missing
