Source for "double" adj. rod ends?
I'm trying to build a set of adjustable control arms for my FR-S and am looking for something like this...
That is what is commonly used on aftermarket 240sx rear upper control arms. For those not familiar, when the two outside locknuts are loosened, turning the inside 'nut' shortens or lengthens the rod end.
Anyone know a source for something like this? Have searched all around with no luck. Worst case I'm just going to buy a set of these ruca's and hack them up lol. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks but that's not what I'm after, and a little pricey. Here's what I need but they don't offer LH/RH thread options

They offer RH and LH threads yes, but not both on the same part. I.E. RH outside threads, LH inside threads, it's either RH/RH or LH/LH.

you would be working on an fr-s lol.
p.s. the s13 is now going vh45de... 800rwhp or else
http://www.aurorabearing.com/
we use aurora bearing at the shop for our motorcycle suspension stuff... amazing quality, good prices and awesome customer service.
If their stuff will survive seasons of AMA superbike abuse i think it'll be fine on a street car
all rod ends are the same... its just the way the lock nuts are on it that make it double adjustable... take any rod end and slap 3 nuts on it and you've got the same thing.
