Anyone have a source for Carb drop links?

These are the links with the left and right hand 5mm threads that connect to the ball joints on the carbs to actuate the throttle plates.

I need a couple of slightly longer than stock drop links for my application and have searched online to no avail. My links are roughly 53mm long. I need 65mm long links (or longer that I could shorten).

thanks!

All thread would work but check with Richard at PMO for the correct ones.

All thread won't work since drop links are LH and RH threads. Also, the nut in the middle of the link allows for controling twist when setting the length.

Try Pierce Manifold, they sell links in various lengths.

You can use all thread, just have to get RH ball ends. just pop one end off to adjust. Looks OK on a Fiat but I would get the proper part.
