looking for a odd rod end

probably doesn't exist, but anybody ever see/find a good quality rod end, 5/8-18 threads with a 3/4" bore?

I can find them the other way, 3/4 threads 5/8 bore.

?

Re: looking for a odd rod end

I've never seen a rod end like that.
What do you need it for?

i've done a lot of buisness with midwest control, they are a great company. they have the part im looking for, called a "trunion ball" rod end. basicly a rod end with the high misalignment spacers built in, with the same thread size as the bore.

Some of their prices are high if you only need 1 or 2 of the part, but they have quantity breaks that get pretty good with larger orders. they have quite good quality ends too.

Link to these, please?

Do they have what you are (or were) looking for, with 5/8-18 threads and a 3/4" bore?

i was looking for a rod end with 5/8 threads and a 3/4" bore so i could use the misalignment spacers, which would reduce the bore back to 5/8. But since i found the trunion ball ends http://www.midwestcontrol.com/catdis...ort.php?pg=560, i dont need the other rod end since this one already has the misalignment "spacers" built it. It will work to 42 degrees.
