2.55 each, so 45~ plus shipping I'd guess. About as much I paid for my uber beefy plastic ones (but those came with mounting hardware including high misalignment spacers.

And you'll have a lotta trouble fittin those on a clod.

The pitstopusa link in my above post has the 1/4" ones for $2.45 on sale from $2.55. It's not much but it's cheaper.

Sorry guys,I've had some computer troubles.

Adam,like Dave said,it was a little more than $50 shipped to my house. For a clod you'd probly need to go with something a little smaller. I'm thinking somewhere in this thread Dave found some small metric steel/aluminum ends. Might try some 8 or 10 mm sized ends.

They are pretty nice
even they are a little on the big for scale, I think they look great.

MSC site credited me back ($24. ) for the thermoplastic ones because the description on their web site did not identify them as LEft hand thread.
So when I got them I thought I would just make them work, but then ran into hard find for the jam nuts
They are great customer serevice. I bought right hand thread ones also

I finally found the left thread nuts at mmsacc and found a huge selection of HEX HEAD small bolts,
M4, 4-40, 6-32, 8-32 , 10-24
and allen Button head screws

Very nice customer service with very good prices

this is the spot for scale looking little bolts

The 3/16th ones are about 4.8mm so I would think that would be your best choice size wise. However, you will most likely need custom links no matter which you chose off the list.

The 1/4" ones would be 6.3mm FYI.

I am sure someone with more knowledge of the AX-10 will chime in though.
