The hardest part will be to drill them 100% centered. Compared to Traxxas or other rod ends, it's another hurdle.
A bit off center and your effector will tilt in any direction.
Let's see if some one comes up with a professional rod-kit ( hint, hint )

there is this tech data for themQuote

It sounds like a good alternative to magnets for heated enclosures.
Do you have the specifications for the spherical tolerances?

ISO Symbol = POM
TRADE NAME = Delrin Celcon
Chemical Name = Polyoxymethylene (Delrin)
Specific Weight kg/dm3 = 1.42 ASTM D.792
Water Absorbtion N% = 0.9 ASTM D.570
Tensile Strength Kg/cm2 = 680 ASTM D.638
Stretch % = 75 ASTM D.638 ASTM
Modulus of Tensile Elasticity kg /cm3 = 29.000 ASTM D.638
Impact Strenght IZOD Kg.cm/cm = 18 at 25 deg C and 10 at 40 Deg C ASTM D.256
Rockwell Hardness = 120 Scale R ASTM D.785
Max Operation Temp = 150 deg C
ASTM = This is the test method used.
Other information = These balls will not float
Delrin Balls: Delrin is the name commonly used for the less commonly known polyoxymethylene (POM) acetal plastic. It has high mechanical strength and rigidity, is tough and tolerant to repeated impacts and has a good long term fatigue endurance. It has excellent resistance to petroleum based solvents, moisture and other neutral chemicals. Its has good electrical insulating properties and self lubricates in use. It can be operated within a wide operating temperature range up to 150 Deg C.
Note: There are many factors which may influence the performance of this product, temperature, chemical exposure etc. - always test for your own application before selecting large quantities of this product.
Benefits: Self lubricating, tough, durable
not really what you asked for though sorry
yes a simple jig as you describe nebbian would be great once i have some cad skills i will draw one, i do have a couple that are very slightly out of line but ive marked them to the effector and watched if they turn when in use and they dont so its holding its calibration well i was worried that they would turn and change the effector angle noticeably , i would like a jig to redo them though, my semiU 3dr kit came with m3 threaded bar and metal ball joints, the problem with them was the amount of movement was limited they restricted the build space to much , and these new ones will go down and be parallel to the towers giving me much more build space.
i had real problems trying to drill stainless ones even the so called low carbon soft ones were not soft,
thanks for your replys guy
