Copy pasted directly from my email:

"Travis,

I do not have all that info because I just have the part number for the rod end itself, but it will be cheaper for you and me to just sell you the replacment rod ends and the ones I sell are teflon lined. Its called F1 fit. I will just sell them to you at my cost. I am shocked that the pillow ***** went out, I think the guy really fucked them up somehow. Maybe he couldnt spin them and melted the lining with a torch.

I can also get new rod end seals.

P.S. My source is FK rod ends.

JM10T
JM10LT (left hand thread)

the rod end seals are 5/8's from seals it.

Make sure you put the bushings back correctly.

One side gets the short, the other side gets the long.

My site has pics you can match it up too."


FK Rod Ends- Home Page

Seals-It


Ben emailed this info directly to me.


NOW. If you are asking about the spacers (which are not even part of the bearing), then yes, you will either need to have some custom made, or you could probably get away with some Grade 8 washers. Ben should at least be able to provide measurements for you.

"The rod ends are identical as far as inside diameter. Only the shoulders of the spacers are different. Those are ss so I'm sure those pieces are not damaged. You just reuse those. The spacers come with the rod from the cnc guy. Those are custom pieces that can not be bought off the self." - Confirms what I think you meant to say. The spacers are custom, but the rod ends and seals are readily available.
