Rose joint supplier?

I need a couple of small rose joints (spherical rod ends) for my accelerator linkage. Something around M6 would be nice - but where can I get some?

Rally Design, eBay or IIRC Nick Skidmore on here sells all sorts of sizes. Do a search for his past posts

No luck with Rally Design (unless I missed something) They do some clevis pins but not rose joints.
Ebay has got some large ones (1/2" upwards)

Rally Design only do imperial ones, which is a bit of a pain. You could use 3/16UNF which is about 5mm. ought to be big enough for an accelerator linkage.

Or get in touch with this man:

I use a small firm called McGill Motor Sports. mcgillmotorsports@aol.com or 01592 655428.
They do M6 from £2.50 each and accept paypal.
I am not connected to them in any way, but I have found their service good.

Thanks guys - I'm spoiled for choice now.
Looks like midwest control do everything including link rods so I think I will give them a try first.
