gentlemen,
there does exist a conrod whose configuration needs only very simple machining operations to replace the stock 292 rod.
the C2C length is 7.0", the weight is 28oz, the material is SAE1145. the design and finish are both superior to the 292.
the problem is the rod is of 50's vintage and last saw very limited use in the 60's.
with prices being driven by supply and demand (a set of 6 was $150 the first time I found them but a year later the price had
"dropped" to $60 for the set), I want to finish the machining on mine, build my 292 and test their merit before possibly
increasing the demand for an item of known limited supply and unknown performance.
if they "connect" as well as they look we should all be able to find and purchase sets without "disturbing the market" and
driving the price beyond their true value. a 60% price cut is not hard to bear as it will pay for some of the machine work.
