I need a couple of metric rod ends (Heim Joints) in M6 x 1 Lh and Rh thread. Anybody know where to get em? Found some that are imperial but nothing metric. I must be looking in the wrong places.....

SKF will do em, bit pricey though. Think I got a price list somewhere from guys I use (nelson w NW shipping) I can dig up for you if you if a few days postage wait isn't prohibitive.

Price not an issue, would rather decent ones but not PTFE ones that can be to stiff. Seen the guy on TM from Nelson but he doesnt list that size.

Yeh if price isn't an issue go with SKF, they'll be best in terms of quality too.

Check USA ebay. You will probable get them cheaper and faster than trying to get them in NZ.

Any bearing shop. Last time I purchased them, they sold them to me for $10 each instead of $40 retail, or some equally huge margin. Haggle, there is plenty in them apparently.

They also have a cheaper Chinese brand.

Just to add to the list, Landpower, Powerfarming, JJ's etc etc will have these, although they'll probably be better stocked with imperial sizes than metric they're worth a shot if you're stuck.
