Lowes or Home Depot would be a start for the tubing and all-thread. You're still going to need rod ends, which you won't find there though.

You can also get materials for fabrication through McMaster Carr. www.mcmaster.com You won't find any link ends there though, well I haven't anyway; you'll have to source those more than likely from a hobby shop of some sort..

i have made links for my rigs from 4-40 all thread sleaved with 2 diffrent sizes of brass tubing and 1 sleve of alum tubing. just get some 4-40 all thread rod and find a piese of brass tube that fits kinda tight around the all thread then another brass tube thats fits tight on that one then alum tube that fits tight on that one. my truck has seen some pretty hard hits and i have yet to break or bend a link. another option is 4-40 all thread and sleve that with 3/16 brake line.

Look into 1/4 inch delrin rods. easy to bend, easy to drill for to install 8/32 thread or 4mm thread. works great for the money. the "bay" is a good start looking for 4link parts. 8/32 ss allthread rod makes a good link also
