Hi Martin,
I used 1/2" UNF (both bore and shank) which I bought from Rally Design. I did some calculations at the time as to required strength because, as
you may already be aware, there is a huge variation in strength amongst rod ends of the same physical size.
Have a read through the following thread:
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=4635
This is a thread I started when trying to decide whether to use rod ends and how strong they needed to be. You will see that I ended up opting for
National MSM8T rod ends for my trailing links. The panhard rod needs something a bit stronger but RalDes didn't have the one I wanted in stock
so I just got a pair of their Carborace ones just to get it put together and SVA'd. I will be changing these before I put the car on the track
though for something with a load rating of around 16000lbs.
I hope this helps,
Craig.
