Connecting Rod Specs

ACL Connecting Rod

The plastic Connecting Rod is made of soft plastic. To illustrate, you can easily cut a little piece from it with a razor blade and , when hit hard it will dent rather than crack. The original Regular-16 Rod’s dimensions are:

• Length: 24mm
• Diameter: 4mm
• Hole diameter is 2.3mm at the surface and increases inside the rod to approx 2.7mm.  (A dremel ball-headed tool can be used for this.)
• Distance from edge of rod to center of hole: 2.5mm
• Distance from center of holes (at 90 degrees to each other at either end): 19mm

The above information is approximate. Use it as a starting point only.
