I have already ordered these parts to John, but as they are not arrived to my home here in France and partd here are metric and not same numbers.
Nevermind, I will see when they will be here.
Thanks all.
DF, he was asking if anyone knew what the AN part number may be so he could order them from a different source such as AC spruce etc. These are standard off the shelf parts and not something that KF had made special for their planes. If you knew what the thread size was, it would be easy to find the rod ends.
Exactly!
I have canceled the order to John due to the delay and I would like to order them to AC spruce Europe for shorter delay and custom taxes!
Jacques,
I read your original post and since I didn't have a Series V and couldn't help with the part numbers, I felt I couldn't help. As I look at my Model IV there are about ten rod ends (spherical bearings) on the fuselage and another six or eight in the control linkages, so didn't know which ones you needed. My suggestion is that you log onto: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/search/search.php
and search for what you need in bolt and thread size. This will give the industry part number and you can most likely find them locally.

Lowell,
I just need rod end for the wing lift struts and for stabilizer brace.
I have already search with Spruce but I undestand the metric system but the AN system with inches is difficult for me.
For the wing lift struts, the female rod ends with an AN 4 -13A bolt on top and an AN 316-5 check nut.
For stabilizer brace, it is also a female rod end with an AN3-25A bolt on top and an AN616-4 check nut.
The only point I am not sure with Spruce is the width of the head of the rod end.
