Anyone make aftermarket rods for the 6bolt crank/2g piston?

Yes you can get the eagle rods for the 6bolt motor. You just need to have your rods machined to either allow for the 2g pistons to be pressed in. Or have the 2g pistons machined to accept full floating pins.

No, Im asking if anyone makes an aftermarket rod that requires ABSOLUTELY NO machining to either end of the rod.
Since so many people run a 6 bolt crank/95 pistons, why doesnt a company make them for it?

Unless you have them custom made I think you are SOL

The work required to fit 2G pistons on 1G rods is so minor nobody woudl bother making them specifically for it. They require a very small line bore, so little work in fact that the machine shop we use does it for free for us when we do it because it's so easy.
