After much waiting my Rod-end (rose joint, fish-eye-joint what ever you all called it :P ) was finally arrived yesterday~ It's POS 16 and POS 16-L, where L for left hand thread.
There's only 10 unit left in their stock and from the look of the boxes, they were fairy old~ I go for the copper lining type instead of the all time favorite PTFE lining model for it's sheer strength. For the same POS 16, copper lining can withstand higher dynamic load than PTFE lining POS 16.
*thanks to The Dog Project by Edgar's posted info which you can find here.
And finally i can start working on my rear 4-link. I'm using 2.5mm thick steel pipe aka c-Pipe for some local industry reason. Hope it's strong enough to hold onto the hard time i'm going to give it in the future.
Cutting it to desire length and even out the end of the rod.
Making the screw groove which the rod-end will be screw in later.
Finish tap-ed rod.
And that's how it looks like before sending to get it's surface sink chromed to withstand malaysia's corrosive weather~ I make the rod 10mm shorter than standard which each side have 15mm of play means it can be adjusted 10mm shorter than standard 4-link or 20mm max longer than standard 4-link. To adjust the axle at optimum running angle with the props haft.
I would have an extra set lying around for the time being. Who ever interested can give me a call.
Cherrie-o~
