Need (female) Heim Joint, Spherical Rod End, Rod end Bearing

Ok so whats up with my hardware stores ?? I called around today looking for a 1/4" Heim joint to do this cool throttle linkage idea I found on the web since my stock 62' one with the bent rod blows. and well.. NOTHING, they acted like I was speaking another language.. so do I have to buy these online or does someone know of a hardware store open tomorrow that carries these ??
Here's the link to the page, pretty cool Idea I think.. Let me know if you guys have something better.
Thanks
Anthony

Not really a general hardware store item. Check with bearing supply places and tractor and equipment dealers...common stuff there.

 

Motion Industries if there is one in your area
otherwise speedway or Mcmaster Carr

 

My ace hardware carries a good selection. Also check with your local off road supplier. Super Duty Headquarters here in mesa carries a great selection of them.

 

Hi Anthony,

For small quantities, McMaster Carr can't be beat! But if you find yourself needing more, here is a great source I use:

Take care,

Thanks Scott, called Motion Industries and looks like they might have to order my size but said its no uncommon for them so shouldn't be a problem. Appreciate the help guys.

Jethro , just this morning I couldn’t find a Hemi joint anywhere locally. I googled it and the Hamb showed and saw your reply about bearing supply. I found it at a bearing supply place right in my hometown. I was embarrassed, I’ve bought stuff there before, didn’t gave the place a thought about the heim / spherical rod end. Of course all he had was a left hand thread but he ordered me a right one. Thanks so much for your tip. Appreciate it!

 

IMS carries them . Industrial metal supply . several locations in So Cal.

 

Zombie post from 2008..........is that a winner?????

What's the oldest unintended repeat post?

 

No trouble , happy to help!
Now if I could go back to 2008 , my hearing was better , my back didn't hurt , the world was a kinder gentler place......oh the good old days.

 

I saw one of my 2008 posts quoted recently. This is something a FNG falls into when doing a search on here.

 

Information is good, no matter when it was posted. Why do some people freak out about old posts???

 

Not freaking out, just finding it funny.

 

I got mine at Speedway motors, but found at latter if you have a place in town that sells bearings they will generally have the rod ends also.

Jokes on me I just saw where this thread is 15 years old.
maybe my reply will help someone in the future.HRP
