Does anyone know of a manufacturer or supplier of the rod linkages with sockets at either end that fit the ball connectors on HIF6's?
Burlen Fuel systems do not appear to do the short ones needed for the linkages on a Boxer quad SU set-up.

Could you get a long one cut it down and run a die down the end?

Well, yeah, I guess that would be one way to do it, but they’re pretty expensive and I’d rather not start cutting them down either. Might give Burlen a call and see if they can supply shorter ones.
I just thought there might be another supplier out there who’s already dealt with this.
By the way, speaking of alternatives… if you guys are ever into proper long-distance driving or desert trips (a few of the V8 crowd swear by it), I stumbled across this site the other day:
https://desert-morocco.net
Looks like a cool resource for planning desert routes and tours if you ever fancy giving your V8 a real workout outside of the UK drizzle
Let us know if you find a supplier!

After searching some more on eBay I found an outfit called FastRoadCar that sell mostly Weber stuff, but also universal-fit ball-end linkage rods with threaded rod that can just be cut to size. Sorted.
