Rose Joints - Where To Get Them?

[stickymint]

I am looking at replacing the rose joint/ rod ends on the rear of my megabusa. I have just spoke with WSCC and they say c 4 weeks before they have them in stock...........

I am looking for the heavy duty version ( as the car is used for track days ).

1) where can I get them. 2)what size do I quote?

These were the cheapest 'branded' high strength ones for my Fury (i paid about £15 each from memory). All of them were 1/2" x 1/2" UNF right handed, though this might be different on the Westfield.

Otherwise, the all out cheapest place is http://www.mcgillmotorsports.co.uk many of the racers use the high strength version, but i chose not to.

Not done too many miles but fine so far.

Another vote for McGill. Quick service, good price, good quality.
