401 RODS

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Andre,

I hadn't said anything yet because I am working on
getting a bushing that will allow us to float either a
.930 or a 1.00 pin using the same bushing.  The small
end should have been rough size about .998.  There
seems to be enough material in the small end to fit a
bushing big enough for a 1" pin.  That way we can
float the Ross pistons that already have a 1" pressed
or floating pin option.  I haven't confirmed all this
yet as we are making sure it will work.  This will
hopefully be an easy fix.

It is always something isn't it.

Well folks, BAD NEWS!!!!!
The new 401 rods are being pulled from sale. The small
end it too big!. 
I
had done some checking, and had my machine shop fix
the big end which 
was
too small. My machinist ask for a pin as he thought
there was a problem
there. YES there is, its too big. So if any of you
have bought these, 
you
will not be able to use them out of the box. 
Also I still have not been able to post my original
post on these rods,
sent before Nick posted info on them.
There is info about the new ( not Scat) 360 rods in
that e-mail too.
