Illston and Robson introduces plastic balljoint/linkage kit
Illston and Robson is launching a new plastic balljoint kit that will be suitable for use by machine builders. Supplied in a rigid plastic box, the kit has a range of M5 MOS2 self-lubricated nylon balljoints in both left- and right-hand threads, with linkage rods, lock nuts, washers and nyloc nuts included. Manufactured in the UK, these high-quality plastic balljoints are said to offer greater durability and wear properties than standard nylon materials, and the company believes the kit offers all the parts required for anyone developing a fuel injection or carb setup for motorsport, building animated models and other lightweight motion control requirements.
The combination of the linkage rod, which is threaded M5 left- and right-hand, and the left- and right-hand balljoints, provide easy variation, without the need for disassembling - this, again, makes the kits highly suitable for prototypes and one-offs.
These kits also give resellers the opportunity to provide one-off linkages and quickly regain the cost of the kit. Currently on offer at £46 + VAT, with discounts for volume orders, the kits are available mail order from stock at Illston and Robson's factory in the heart of Birmingham, or from ebay under the user illstonandrobson1908.
