Is there a male shank version of the AN665 clevis fork?

Have problems with your aircraft? Maybe just questions about how best to tune or adjust something? Regs or maintenance? Need to know the best way to do something?

Is there a male shank version of the AN665 clevis fork?

I've found these on McMaster-Carr but there's no material data or bolt grade shown. I need it in 5/16-24 with 1/4" eye hole. The AN161 is intended for turnbuckle use and will not work for this. My application is more akin to an adjustable rod end at the end of a pushrod, with threads all the way to the shoulder of the clevis like the McMaster part.

Is there an AN or MS number? Can't find anything at Spruce.

Thanks.

What I believe your after is an AN666 Terminal. Univar looks to have them but there isn't a picture on their web site.

I dunno if they have an online catalog or not, but you might try Spenser Aircraft in Puyallup WA.
Before they became a parts house and FBO, aircraft hardware was their thing.

Pushrod flight controls?

No. Just an adjustable fixture.

Ah, cool. There's a guy on SC.org building pushrod controls for his LSA homebuild. Thought you might be taking the same path.

Zane, I believe what you need is an AN44 eyebolt. They are 5/16-24 thread with a 1/4 inch eye hole.

What I need is actually the mate to that, the clevis fork. The AN45 and An46 are what I'm attaching to. It looks like my McMaster link was no good...I fixed it.
