imperial heights garage. they have them in stock. i have a couple laying around. they are pretty reasonable that i would just a couple extras. i have at least one set of 3/8th one in the drawer both male and female.

if gonna order look up circle jerk racing catalogs like speedway motors they have all of that in stock and different grades of rod ends too.

McMaster-Carr has every rod end you could possibly imagine. Just don’t buy the cheapest ones you can find. There is a huge variance in quality for rod ends…and the stresses that bar (and it’s ends) will see are not worth cheaping out.
