I went to colman racing and picked up threaded aluminum lca's from them and put QA1 rod ends in them they are extremely light very thin for clearance and i spoke with a a guy that has been running them for some time and claims they are stong enough to run a .5 60 foot time (no that is not a typo) I also have the same set up for my PHB. My friend also has them on his tubed twin turbo small block and they are doing just fine. I can get you the exact sizes and spacer size if you need them.

Those ones that hotparts has look good as long as they are quality rod ends, if not they will wear out really fast on the street. QA1 road ends are 30 a piece from jegs so making your own will cost about 175. This is the guy that i got the idea from check out his site.

We quite using the QA1 Product when they moved manufacturing to China. There quality control has gone down hill drastically. Our rod ends are a 3 piece very high precision teflon lined rod end which we found outlast all of the QA1 products we have ever used.

Are you referring to the reducer bushings? If you are they are fixed.
