Clevis, yoke, or fork end
dnmalc - 24/8/06 at 07:21 PM

Hope somebody can help me i am looking for a pair of 1/2 inch Clevis, yoke, or fork end with a M12 male thread to support the turnbuckle on my IRS. I have found some in the springfix catalogue but they will only supply in a min of 30 off as I want 2 this is a bit of overkill. Any suggestions.
As this is load bearing I am assuming that the SVA may require me demonstrate its load bearing capacity so I suspect that I cannot machine one up.

i was looking for one with a 5/8 unf thread, probably for the exact same use as you. Nat gave me a link but i never got round to ringing them. I think it was racers hardware on 01733211311, unfortunately no web presence. If you have to buy a bundle id probably take 4 off you, ideally 5/8ths as i already have the inserts made!

Joel Like you I mave made the threaded bush at M12 and the boss at 1/2 so I suspect we are incompatible but hey ho

Thanks Guys I did try chandlers but they seem generally to have much lighter clevises. I will try Tuthill
