Hi Guys,
Saw this on datsun1200.com and really want one for the top mount on my super charger.
Anyone know where to get them? Been searching but found nothing:

Re: Alternator Tension Rod
If you want to make your own, you should be able to buy the rose joints at a bearing shop (like Saeco) or any decent performance autoparts store (Proparts in Napier stock them, so there should be heaps of places in Auckland). Then just drill and tap a length of rod.
Or those types of stores should be able to hook you up with a complete unit.
Where are you planning on connecting it? If the mounting points don't move in relation to each other, there's no need for it to be rose jointed. Other than the fact rose joints look pretty cool and professional.

Re: Alternator Tension Rod
bare in mind, if you make your own, one side will need to be left hand thread, so it will adjust properly
