Hey Paul,

 

Just a suggestion if you need a few more to put you over the top, you may want to post something on FB. There is always a few that are not  FAQ members.... I got quite a few when I ran the GB for seat adaptors.

 

 

[PaulTWinterton]

Good point.  Sadly, or belligerently, I'm adverse to FB, but I guess I could learn their interface and navigation to the correct marketplace.  Thanks.

2 for dq.

Thanks Paul

[Steve Tochi]

I'll take one to help the count!

Paul, actually anything you produce, just go ahead and put me in. 

[0257]

I’m in.

I didn't read all that because you can go to www.IGUS.com and get a plastic socket from them, metric, LH and RH thread. 5mm IIRC.

 

I don't have the PN handy but could look it up.

 

There are several options, even ones that have a boot to keep the dirt out.

 

I intend to use them on my restoration but haven't pulled trigger on them yet.

 

there may be a minimum, so the interest is there for that.

Interesting stuff.  A little different but worth exploring.   Let us know how they work.

[Malagatii]

Count me in, please. 
 

thanks

My '74 Turbo came with those originally, then they broke so were replaced with the metal sockets.

 

As an aside, I have measured probably 30 balls on various systems and have yet to find the balls worn. YMMV.

 

Needless to say I am an original parts hoarder, so please put me down for two.

 

Thanks!

I know what you're saying.  The hardened German steel is amazing.  Another interesting fact, not only did I use my original piece up until 2 years ago when it felt a little loose on the ball, but at this time @stephers has 3 current tii clients that are still using the original nylon socket linkage piece.  Gotta say that's another testament to German engineering.

Wow!  49 committed, one to go.  Thanks guys.  I'll be busy during self-quarantine.
