I need 24 rod bolts for a 355/512M. Ferrari only has a few and SPS no longer makes them.
ARP has taken months to get my last stud order done :x and I can't get anyone there to even talk to me or call me back. :x
I am not opposed to finding someone to make them, I just don't have anyone at the moment.

Well that sucks!

ARP seems to be the go-to place generally.

I've heard a1 technologies

or maybe PM john (cribbj) on flife.....he was on about a custom stud maker so he may have someone?

Thanks Mark,
I PMed cribbj.
ARP said they were really swamped because another company closed. I am guessing it is A1 Technologies. Facebook has no new post for some time, web page and phone are a no go.

:(

Make sure you request their assembly lube , the Ti rods are known for galling !!
I used a set in my 308 motor and saved almost 1,5kg :shock:

Yes, I have the Molykote 1000 paste. On the Boxer engine project, with the 512M crank and Ti rods we saved about 8 kg. :o

Look under Stuff I work on thread, pictures there.
Oh what the hell, he is one.

It is hard to see, but the crank is really cut down and lite weight. Gun drilled mains, angle drilled rod throws, under cut counter weights, and thinner counter weights.
