what are you supposed to use on 1/2" rod ends at the bearing end? ive tried some m12 threaded bar in em an it seems a bit slack. can i use it and tighting the bracket against it? seems a bit bodged to me. or can you get 1/2" bolts to suit em?

cheers,

russ.

Rod ends are specced by the size of the holes in them and their threads.

1/2" x 1/2" will have 1/2" unf thread and 1/2" hole, so you need 1/2" bolt, or if you want to be pedantic and save a bit of weight on the assembly then use M10 bolts and spacers and sleeve to fit the rod end.

1/2" diameter is 12.7mm so thats where the slack is coming from

cool, figured that'd be the answer. b&q dint have anythin 1/2" or RS etc so thought id best ask before i go down the trade counter asking for things that dont exist!


cheers,

cheers m8, all sorted now.
just need some bleedin bushes now! dont seem to having much luck with mnr but ill keep waiting.

hi russ

what are you waiting for ???, will find out from chris what the status is tomorrow for you, i know some bushes have arrived today ( mnr ones ) but no book ones yet

best regards

marc

just for someone to get back to me m8, i called wednesday last week and the guy said to email my order in, so i did that and havent got a reply with a quote yet. sent another email on the weekend incase the first one dint make it to you. im not peed off of or anything, just idly waiting

cheers,

Russ.

ps- it doesnt really matter which bushes (mnr or book) i get to be honest, as long as the brackets and wishbone tube all matches em as its a car of my own design. i dont mind paying a bit more if i can get hold of em quicker.

did you send to mnrsportscars@btinternet.com, what name would the email have come through as ??

nope, sent it to info@mnr etc as on your webby. guess thats the wrong one?? lol

send it to the mnrsportscars address this seems to be more reliable

best regards

marc

will do m8. cheers for that.
