EAGLE steel rods are very cheap mate!!!!!!!! $318 for a set!!!!!!! thats around £180!!!!! after shipping and import tax etc i bet you would have them at your door for under £300!!!!!!

I emailed them earlier to see if they would make me a custom set. i asked for them to be the same spec as the standard rods found in the silver top zetecs, but the small end made to fit the 21mm wrist pin for the calibre turbo pistons
Eagle rods have been known to see up to 600bhp without failure!!!!!!!! That sounds good enough for me

i'll let you know how i get on
