Subject: RE:Where to get heim rod ends? by SpectatorRacing on 2008/1/20 6:49:36 I'll be getting a set from mcmaster carr, the medium ones (with grease fittings) are only about $11. I need a bushing to reduce the bore from 3/4" to 1/2" also. At that price, even if they wear out quicker I'll still save money. It's not like they're difficult to remove, it's maybe a 20 minute job. Pegasus has some for like $17 so I may go that route just to support a race shop, but who knows. When monday comes and they're open I'll order. I was pretty surprised that VB&P, which is where I bought the original set-up, wanted to charge me a huge amount of money to replace these. This whole thread was started because they wanted $44 per rod end. To do all 4 would obviously then be $176. Buying a whole new piece is $250, and new parts get a discount (replacement components do NOT) with either CF or NASA of 10%, so $225. Why the hell would I buy 4 ends when for a few bucks more I could get a whole new set of rods? Good way to drive away a loyal customer... |
