rod ends...
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

asking for things that dont exist!

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.
