Ones anyone know of any other suppliers of cone links? This is the problem have, I'm making up rose jointed parallel and trailing arms with 5/8 joints but no cone links I can find will fit them. I have both types of Rally Design link shown below, compression links and tension links, but neither will fit a 5/8 joint. They must be available as I've seen them used before.

I can get around this by mounting them to the sides with a spacer tube in the middle (using the joints ideally on the left hand side as they are 1/3 of the price!) as I have seen others do, but it seems like a bit of a bodge when the proper joints must be out there somewhere. Besides, the tension strut links are £80 a pair which is a lot of money for something which doesn't fit 100%
