Hi All,
Can someone please tell me the correct name for those jazzers hanging from the end of one of my gear selector rods.
They are threaded on both ends, 90degrees to each other and obviously a ball joint of some sort attaching them together!
I want to try and find some (on ebay if poss!).
cheers,
Steve

Yup, that's a thingy all right 
Otherwise known as a rod end - sometimes a rose joint.

Cheers Raz,
Well "thingy" didn't turn up what I wanted on ebay, so just searched for "rod end" and there was quite a few on there!
Although they all seemed to be track rod ends!
Do I need to search for the size aswell to narrow it down, or I am searching ebay in vain, and should just go to a local supplier (whoever that may
be!)
Steve
try searching for ball end stud too and you will probably find the whole complete joint.
got some thingys here at work but not sure on the thingy threads or thingy ball thingy size.
or rose joints possibly would suit you sir !
Steve why is your engine out?
RS sell loadsa rod-ends in different sizes.
Mac#1 had a few on their stand at the show.
steve this is a weird one as in my local fastner place they are listed as ball joints
as I was calling them rose joints and he didnt know what I was going on about
IIRC Rose Joint a trademark and ball joint the generic name?
I prefer jazzers 
Can we stick to that from now on then we all know what we're talking about?Jazzers!!!
