Damaged one and need a replacement. Anyone in the philadelphia area upgrade and have their old ones still? Edit, looking for a cast rod with rod bolts still in

Old rod bolt? Surely you jest.

You do know that you have to have the big end of the rod resized if you replace the bolt(s)?

Your right, just grab a 5/16" bolt from home depot and double nut it for safety.

In reality you would be better off just looking for a used rod, they are pretty cheap and you won’t have to worry about resizing the big end.

Really, even with one original rod bolt you think I need to replace the whole rod?

I bet its cheaper to buy 1 good rod instead of a new rod bolt pressed in and the big end resized (you have to resized the big end - press fittgin a bolt will make it slightly out of round)
