Does anyone have a source for this rod end bearing? Sounds like VANS has been waiting over a year.
How do we finish the plane without these?

This is the spruce part number for the same thing. They say no stock, but will have some late Feb. Maybe there are other places you could look for this part number: GMM-3M-670

I have two of them. Check your PMs.

https://www.mcmaster.com/60645K14 seems to match the spec sheet of the aurora bearing pretty close.

If you want to upgrade to PTFE lined and american made:

For anyone still waiting on these backordered rod end bearings;

Try UNIVAIR. Aurora OR

I was able to get 4 of them for about 25 bucks a piece.

No telling when VANS will get them out to you.

Staff there told me they had backorders still waiting since 2021.
