and as a guess weaker than what was in it

no idea but they are jewel like

here is a link if you can accept that they will need sleeving in the big end or a bush in the pin end (most carrillos used to anyway.. )and I don't know your width ?

the rods are near the end page 65 on

If you can find something with the right c to c length, resizing the big end aint hard. Used shells which fit, bored to the right ID for the KTM shells and hand cut the notches. Used to be able to get adaptor shells for small journal Chevs to fit the big journal block.
Given a choice, i'd always bronze bush the small end anyway.
If you do go this way, I'd do a judicious hand lightening of the rod - clean it up and blend radii etc, Polish and shot peen after.
When i put a Yamaha rod in the Aermacchis, I clean it up and lighten it then polish and shot peen. No probs...

Well looking through that list it seems the zx600r is your closest option
Top of the green...
16mm pin offers up the option for the wiseco pistons used in the FXRs.

Third race from last weekends racing. Look out for the fun at the lapping point. Regan's video.

Planning a long sea voyage ? Burt M used to take a box of files and a small clamp on vice with him. By the end of the voyage to the states, he'd have a set of rods ready for finish machining. You'd need a chunk of Caterpillar axle shafting though and that's pretty rare nowadays....

As do the the Cornish and Carrillo ones Lozza..............


The interesting thing is that the MMC ones are run direct on the crank-pin.They reputedly last for a seasons racing.
So at 900 euro the $1430 NZD or $1136 Aussie beer tokens(plus vat and freight as well) those 4 strokes sure are cheap to run......






I have posted the last 4 attachments before but they include the use of MMC sleeves shame they are to big 68mm plus.
The cost was far more reasonable than the rods but still much more than a alloy sleeve or iron.

Some other Aussie ones

I guess they did read the same articles as posted above.
MMC seem to be one of the fashionable materials these days. With selected rods available for the 4 stroke crowd

The MMC calipers that AP used to do were ridiculously light.

Carrillo

Not sure it happen exactly the same these days or even the ownership is the same. I had an idea they were now part of the conglomerate that owns wiesco etc

My father still walks with a limp from a aluminum alloy rod breaking on him over 25 years ago.
So what was the engine single cylinder aluminum alloy rod. (not an Enfield either Stephen)
Virtual chocolate fish to the first correct answer.

4340 Carrillo
mcv Argo
Ti-6 AL-4v crower Titanium and Cornish rods be aware ti stretches a lot.......
