My friend is in bad need of a con-rod for a GRP .21 silver head. They are back-ordered everywhere and we need one by the weekend. If anybody has one they don't need or know where to locate a rod let me know. What other brand con-rod's will work?

Yea, I got a parts order in yesterday and tried
a Novarossi rod. SON OF AH B-----!!!!!, I wonder
how many of us Mark told that rod would work.
Oh well, I can still use the rod in one of my GO
engines. Maybe one of the better known modders,
that is an actual machinest also, can come up with
a rod that will work for us. I know that there are a
few of them that have the knowledge and tooling to
do it.

Could the rod be drilled and reinsert a new bushing??
That would be awesome if someone could come up with an idea like that.
Wonder if GRP will manufacture any more parts for their nitro engines??
Someone has to know of an alternate replacement for these con rods..
