Default Re: M4 Angle Joint - Anyone know where I can find some of these?

Scott – Held for ransom over a ball joint… LOL. I will post my build but it will be at a later date- need to work out some design issues first. I had already bought some of those rod ends from RC Rock Crawling. The heim joints will not work for my application.

Ken – Du-Bro I have been to their web page before. Their ball joint is a 4-40, which is too small for the scale that I am working in. If I decide to go with inch sizes, I would use an 8-32, but that is not the route I want to go.

Trucker n – Mcmaster was the first place that I looked. M5 is a very common size - M4 isn’t.

Car5858 – Thanks for the info. Not what I need but it is a nice looking ball joint. If only it was in M4.

ihbuilder - Smallparts is a great sight. I bought their M4 and M5 heim joint. You can see the M5 in the picture. It would be great if the had the DIN 71802. VXB – is another great sight. I buy most of my bearings from them, but they have pretty much the same as what everyone else has.

Nathan – How’s the weather back home? Thanks for the lead and idea but it is not the look that I am going for. The more I look at it, the more I think I should just machine them myself.

Thanks guys for your suggestions, advice and links. Because of the metric size, I will either machine them myself or maybe someone from abroad can point me to a source.
