Ball and socket joints

Can someone point me in the direction of a Ball and Socket bearing supplier. I am after 6mm ones. They are similar to rod end bearings but they have a ball and socket arrangement instead. I tried RS and Namrick but no luck.

Cheers Mike

hi quadra
gas rams/struts use ball and sockets perhaps a supplier of rams would have them
coaches and plant on access panels and car tail gates use them
its just a thought
perhaps you can get them that way
if you are stuck would 8mm ones do we use them in work
let me know
cheers les g

Good stuff guys, for some reasons I couldn't find them when I looked on the RS site. Thanks for the offer of supplying some from work, but the M6 ones on the RS site are ideal.

Cheers Mike
