Question: Where to find replacement heim ends for Cognito PISK?

[schulte]

Anyone know where I can find 3/4" bore x 5/8"-NF18 shank spherical rod ends (heim joints)?

Looking to replace the ends in my Cognito PISK but Cognito wants ~$45 each.

Checking Mcmaster and other suppliers, all the heim ends I've found have the same size bore and shank (3/4" bore has 3/4" shank, 5/8" bore has 5/8" shank).

I know they should only be $10 each or so but I can't find this specific size... do they need to be cut down from 3/4" shank to 5/8" shank?

Soeedway motors sells them. Search under heim and you can find em. I think they are around 25 for the good ones

Everything I saw there has 3/4" bore and 3/4" shank; no undersized shank rod ends.

You need a 5/8 rod with 3/4 hole?

I know they have 3/4 ends with 5/8s holes.. Got confused on which you needed.

Correct - 3/4" hole, 5/8" shank rod. It's weird I know. Wondering if maybe Cognito uses 3/4" ends with the shanks cut down to 5/8".

Id just order from cognito if it was me. Save some hassle but cost a little more.
