Ideally u wanna get your hands on a farndon h section rod or similar and get him to reproduce that.........cos to be fair a standard rod is quite different, not h section for a start! Not nitpicking just a suggestion so u can get the best product for the money!

Lads,
They are not a direct copy of the standard rod. They are just using the standard rod as a template to make it the correct length and diameter for the gudgeon pins and crank/big end pins.
If required, forged pistons can also be supplied in Wossner, Accralite or by a different manufacturer (can't remember the name quoted). These pistons and rods can be supplied for roughly for the cost of a set of H section Farndon rods alone.

They'll only be ready if we can get the orders together!!! Can't do a thing until we have deffinate orders for all the sets.
Here is a few details about the material the rods will be made of and what they will look like.
These lightweight, H-beam section connecting rods are forged from AISI 4340 (En24) steel. Heat treated to HRC 35-38 and fully shot-peened for higher fatigue strength. Small end bushed for fully floating pin and big end fitted with high quality ARP PRO-Wave 2000 fasteners. Suitable for high-performance street and competition uses.

I'm having my mate sort them out. He owns and runs his own motorsport and rally car prep business. His business is called CAMS although he won't be making them in house.

I'll speak to him on the weekend and try and find out where he saw them, think it was a company on ebay that were advertising rods for various engines, and he enquired to see about cvh ones which apparently they did or can do! Like i say, don't know any details etc, may not be same sort of quality as farndon ones etc. Sayin that, there's no reason why u can get steel rods for other cars so much cheaper, prolly just not as high a demand for cvh ones which drives the price up?!
