Rod ends

[Paul Bearman]

I read several years ago someone who had developed a rod end with an additional lug to 1 side of the ball housing. This lug had an attachment bore which allowed the rod end to be used at the apex of a wishbone while still avoiding bending loads. Does anyone have any info on this? I've tried several manufacturers but no luck.

Nothing new about these rod ends. They have been around for years but are very expensive. Porsche 917s etc use them.

Cheers Graham, do you know a supplier?
