Help please, Identifying a .... thingy!
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.

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

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!)

try searching for ball end stud too and you will probably find the whole complete joint.

IIRC Rose Joint a trademark and ball joint the generic name?
This is personal advise or personal opinion.
Constructive comments gratefully recieved, picking is left for noses.
