what is the max size of commonly available rose joints? trying to develop an aftermarket addition to normal kit car susp. brackets that will allow
easy castor change, but at the moment its looking as if ill need a rose joint well over 20mm id, do they exist, is there any problem using them this
big?

I would imagine the stiction on a rose joint that size would be prohibtive for such a lightweight application.
Can you not machine some reducers to allow "standard" rosejoints to be utilised?

Hi
Most common size rosejoints used on Kitcar's suspension is 1/2" thread with 1/2" bore. That is considered to be more than big
enough. 7/16" or 3/8" would be considered more than strong enough. Assuming quality items are being used.
Cheers Matt

30mm Rod ends are pretty commonly available. Probably not particularly cheap however.

I would imagine the weight of a rose joint that
size would be also be prohibitive for such a lightweight application!
