Thread: Need help finding rod ends

Tweet

Hi, My local hotrod shop has me bent over a tire and I need some help. I need some 5/8 ladder bar ends. I want to go with the TCI style ( the ones with the plastic bushings) for my ratrod project.The local shop won't order them for me until the have a big order which could be a month.
Does anyone know of a company online besides speedway motors that I can pick up the phone and order 6 of them from , or anyone that has 6 for sale ?

Info appreciated

Most any company that sells 4 bar setups should have them, try Heidt's.

Pete & Jakes got em..........

Make em yourself.

Cut a piece off the proper OD DOM tubing, square it up, chamfer inside and out a touch, spin the head round on a Grade 8 bolt, grind a shallow groove in the bolt head, weld it to the ring and you're in business.

About $5.00 - $6.00 expended includes everything including the polyurethane bushing.
Poly bushings available in a variety of sizes and colors from Energy Suspension.

The two large rings and bolts - unassembled - are the ends for a radius rod setup, but they're the same as the four bars and ladder bars use.

HI, thanks for the info. I ordered some from MAS for $9 each
Thanks for the help

Is there a problem with SPEEDWAY,i was going to order parts?

No there is no problem, they only listed a more expensive stainless rod end and since I'm building a ratrod I wanted to buy the plain rod end since I'm painting the frame components with a rattle can anyway.
