Have not had too much luck with the custom end links, they started knocking after a few K kms
Rather than fuck around with more aftermarket parts, i decided to just cut and extend the OEM end links as they are reliable and cheap. I've already adjusted the end links to an optimal length, so getting the sizing correct was easy at least.
I cut the OEM endlinks up, the end link diameter is 9mm which is a bit of an oddball size. I machined up some mild steel and drilled out the holes to 9mm, was a tight fit and I ended up using the hydraulic press to get the endlinks into the holes. I drilled out some side holes to allow me to plug weld the end links onto the extension bar. I finished off the project by spraying the extension parts with some zinc paint, to prevent corrosion.
Pleased to say these links are silent with no knocking sounds anymore.
