WTB:Linkage connectors

[Jellobmw]

Need a couple of these, as there is, after 30+ years, too much slop. About 4cm long over all.
anybody know a good source?

the ends are called Heim Joints. You might google rod ends. I think Grainger might have them but do Google searching for what I told you. When I had my EType I had to fabricate linkage and it wasn't difficult for a Weber set up

Sorry Bert, these are not called heim joints Heim joints are like rod ends that have a spherical ball joint in them What you need are rod ends The plastic ones are no longer available The other short one that screws into each other are also NLA You can buy just the rod ends from peirce manifolds or Partsklassic ( Porsche shop ) You may have to make up something to work for you I make linkage up all the time but you do need a couple of dies to ( L & R ) to cut threaded rod from 5mm straight steel rod

Thanks, Rick
