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

No help? Ok let me try another way...

Hello my name is Khim. I grew up in Wisconsin, relocated to Northern California 20+ years ago. When I was 8 years old my father threw me on an old Parson's rubber tire backhoe and said, "your old enough get up there and dig out that stump!" Well, I do not remember if I actually got that stump out but I still remember that day and the feeling I had running that machine!
At 26 I had left the family heavy construction business, traveled around the country - settled down – finished college and became a design engineer. I don’t get to run equipment much anymore, only when I make it back home, so I took the two things that I am passionate about – designing & building and construction equipment and turned it into one of my hobbies.
Ok- that’s me in a nutshell. Why am I looking for M4 angle ball joints? The project that I am working on is a 1:16 24M Cat Motor Grader and I need the M4s for the steering cylinder rod ends and the front articulation bar. Check out the picture.

Anyone that knows of a source…USA, Europe, China, anywhere… doesn’t matter to me. I will buy from wherever I can find them and the price is right.

Thanks for reading.

Khim

Mcmaster does not have that style. The closest I could locate was from Dubro

http://shop.dubro.com/products/produ...3.0.0.0?pp=12&
Texken gave me the idea.

Trucker N, I was searching when you posted.
