Rod Bearing Size

IMG_3181.jpg Can someone advise the size of bearing used on the ends of this little pushrod? GMM-3M-570? Thanks

Judging from the T6 tube size, one Aurora GMM-3M-570 (RH) and one GMB-3M-570 (LH) bearing. Corresponding LH and RH nuts welded to the tube and 4130 bushings for the correct bolt size

Thanks. I made the rod with 1/4” threads on each end then found the 5/16” rod ends in what remained of the hardware kit. There wasn’t any rods with a left hand thread thread so I drilled and tapped them out to 5/16”.

We supply the kit with RSM4 rod ends using a bushing to reduce the eye to 3/16ths
