I think that is what they are called You often see these on splitters and diffusers to hold them at the right angle. Adjustable 'struts' about 6" long with a bracket at each end.

Any ideas guys?

you mean small rose joints?

I think they are rosejoints aswell. I've got one knocking round I can take a piccy of if you want?

For nice chrome or stainless items, try a yacht riggers.

Spencers in Cowes are my locals, and supply worldwide.

Cheers,

That rings a bell Really tiny ones - M4 maybe?

B&Q had them in the local warehouse. Probably not super high quality, but easy to get.

Also known as a bottlescrew

Spotlamp stay bars - not adjustable though

Yacht chandlers is what you want.

Refered to as bottle screws or rigging screws.

Try this lot, and look under rigging screws.

Plan on using similar for adjustment of my rear wing angle of attack.

Hope it helps

That's more like it - in shiny shiny stainless too

I used one of those rose joint looking thingies in Razmans first pic on page 1 to hold my VR sensor. Very good as they have threaded ends, just had to weld the ball at 90deg.

Are you wanting them for your front splitter? I take it threaded bar with nuts each end simply wont do - not racy enough?

Have a look on Ebay at the pimpy bling bling titanium with fluro yellow end jobbies off R/C cars... Might be too small for your purpose but pretty lightweight and what look like rose joints (though may be plain bearings) on both ends...

Raz
you can buy the joints in your first pic from rs components, i used them for my gearshift linkage, threaded the ends of some stainless rod to link them up.

swmbo's getting cheesed off with my calls for help

I thought I could mount a couple of these little gizmos on the inside of the body to hold the correct angle.

whats wrong with a good old tent peg?

Model (as in toy, not Elle MacPherson strutt) shops will have them, though maybe not big enough.

I knew what you meant by turnbuckles
