GRP connecting rods are CNC machined
from a special aluminum alloy plate
that
provides a combination of high
strength,
high fracture toughness and good
resistance to fatigue crack propagation at high stress
levels. Our manufacturing process
takes advantage of the CNC's capability in that the rod is
custom built around the actual center
to center distance, resulting in custom length rods being
a matter of just inserting the new
center to center distance. These rods are then honed to size,
holding a honest +/- .0002 tolerance,
and from that finished bore the final center to center
distance is cut holding a +/- .0002
tolerance in the center to center distance of the rod.
The rods are then polished with a
high
energy finishing machine to remove
stress risers and to give the rod a
durable polished finish.The average
turn around time for a set of rods
is
about 2 weeks. We do carry common
sizes in stock for immediate
delivery
and have on occasion shipped custom
sets same day as ordered.
