Wanted scrap con rod

[Mr shiney]

I am after a scrap conrod for a little design project. It needs to be solid and over 10mm thick. I will be cutting the rod part out of so state of the ends does not matter. Something like a JCB or Landrover one might be ideal.

I have plenty of Vauxhall ecotec 2.0 ones here, well the ones that did not escape the block anyhow

Amy chance of a pic? I have a rough mental idea of what I am looking for. The rod part needs to be solid so I can mill it and bore it b

Erm sort of, just the broken one but gives you an idea..

That's just the sort of thing I need. Not broken in the middle though! How thick is it?

How did you manage that!?

Well there are another 3 still in one piece in that block, off the top of my head about 13-15mm thick I think but would have to check.

 

[Mr shiney]

Could I persuade you to part with a couple?

 

[ben8vgte]

Have as many as you need they are just sitting in the scrap pile

 

[Mr shiney]

Any chance of sticking them in the post or on MyHermes? Happy to pay the postage.

 

[ben8vgte]

Yeah can do, I'll dig them out over the weekend and have a weigh up and let you know.

 

[Mr shiney]

Very kind, thanks!!

May we ask what the "design project" is?
