    Looking for a needle in a hay stack (suiting con rod for custom application)

    I've been looking for a suiting con rod for a bit of an prototype engine trial. So far no luck and it seems my only option is to have a set of custom rod made but the cost of that will put this project off for a while

    I've been going trough some rod catalogues but so far no luck. So what I'm looking for is A) a rod with 43mm be bore, 139,5 c to c lenght ant a se for a 18mm pin.
    B) Or an shop that would be willing to manufacture a set of four con at a sensible price. The fellar near here is a true pro and charges 900€ for a set.

    So if anything comes to mind please let me know.


    Cheers

    Summit racing have a comprehensive list of pistons, check their rod selection

    Thanks for the tips. I'm even more convinced now I need to have custom rods made.
