Steering and ROSE joints

[Tony Press]

Hi Dennis,
             The rod ends I'm using on my car are this type and size.

BTW, if any of the stuff I said about loadings is making you nervous about using 3/8 x 3/8 rod ends on your A7. here's a picture of my "other" special. Most of the joints on this are the same size and specification as the ones in the weblink. You might appreciate that the cornering forces generated are rather higher with a car running slicks that are 10 and 15" wide .

Not an Austin Seven then    The R type MG  suspension looked quite spindly compared to the solid beam axles previously used.

Nomenclature- usually a peculiarly English trait to call things by the name of a particular manufacturer - Tannoy for loud speaker etcetera, but we often use a name we are used to - back in the 60's a friend called them Heim joints on his Nedloh special (Holden engined) until I supplied him with SKF Rod Ends.

Cheers, Tony.
