Where are you getting your tie-rods?

Hi all.

I am working on getting a short-arm RC10 going again and I need tie-rods. Where are you getting yours? I can't seem to find anything that is not ridiculously over priced.

Thanks.

Usually Schumacher steel. They are 3mm but work fine.

Several options listed, you just need to know what length you want.

On a couple of builds I've used Secraft stainless steel tie rods.
They are cheap and have a pretty cool retro vibe.
Both 4-40 and m3
