CHEAP METAL ROD END BIBLE

[SR5Dave]

Ok, I'm sick and tired of seeing that ONE kind of metal rod end for WAY too much money, they only charge that much because we haven't found anything else.

I SAY NO!! I am scouring the internet in searches of a replacement metal rod end, a good size, and CHEAP.

I will post up when I find some cool stuff. Only one for now:

If you got anything GOOD post it here. Metal stuff only!

www.qscomponents.com Some amazing ebay action there.. Makes me wonder about the quality with how amazingly cheap they are!!



3/16 10-32 RH Rod Ends
$2.75
It looks like the center around the ball is plastic, probably to provide easy machining and popping the ball in and out without heating or a press... So I guess you get what you pay for.
