Is there a source for new connecting rod bolts for the early 4cylinders? Thanks!

i had my connecting rods re-babbited at Effingham and they included new bolts and self locking nuts. There are 2 Effinghams in the same town, learned the hard way, sent my rods to the wrong one.

411 W Wernsing Ave. Effingham, IL. 217 342 4186. Effingham Grinding.

they did an excellent job if anyone needs babbitting. about $50 per rod.

PS. I used the self locking nuts but also put in the cotter pins for piece of mind

the filling station or gary wallace may also sell them
