Default CARF linkages/hardware


Rebel pro stab
Hey all,
what size hardware/ball joints fit between the pre-installed carf control Surface horns and what is a good brand/source besides carf? Also is the all thread 6/32 or 4mm? I don’t have time to order from Asia or Germany...
on that note, anyone have extra hardware they’d like to get rid of? Buyer right here lol

I don’t think that is a CARF tail as the gap looks too narrow...
If that is an original tail you will need SECRFT 132 type M3 ball links.

OK, then the linkages you were offered are the ones. The ball link has the correct double spacer either side of the ball.

Where do you get the double spacer carf ones besides from carf? I’m not doing international shipping and waiting months for some links. This stuff is a no brainer item to stock in the US but their dealers don’t carry them. W,T,F?

Wayne offered you some above. There is no US outlet for the metric ones CARF use. The kit would have been shipped with all the hardware needed.
Have you ever spoken to the CARF US reps?

Yep they said that they don't stock hardware, or really anything for that matter, and it would be cost prohibitive to just order the hardware alone. Would have been nice if carf included some when i ordered the stabs but they didn't. Wayne was gracious enough to send me some- hopefully they are the correct spacer version, if not I'm back to square one. Thanks Wayne!!!
Do you stock them Dave?
