Forged rods available in Australia

[Zuffen]

We can source standard dimension forged I beam rods here in Australia that will take 200hp per cylinder.

These rods are made in Australia from Aussie steel and weigh about the same as Carillo rods but handle more power.

Check out http://lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?p=36812&posted=1#post36812 for a group buy we are putting together.

If we can get25 sets sold you will end up with them for half price!

I assume these rods will be manufactured to fit the Ross 8.5:1 Forged Pistons from the Group Purchase. Does anyone have or know of someone who has a set of Ross Pistons for sale?
As an alternative, I am wondering if we could get some of rods from this GP made to suit some cheaper and readily available off the shelf low compression Forged Pistons such as those made for Honda and Nissan engines that have the same (or similar) bore and pin diameter as the 1UZFE. The rods will most probably be CNC machined and so it might only require the change of one dimension (the rod length) in the CNC program. I just need some detailed dimentions and data on the Ross Pistons to begin my investigations. Any body out there have these dimentions or is willing to take some measurements for me ?
I require 3 pieces of data from the Ross pistons. But the more detail the better.
1. The distance from pin centre to top of piston crown
2. The distance from pin centre to botom of piston skirt
3. The volume (in cc or ml) of the dish machined into the top of the piston.

Check out the For Sale section lower down the Forum. I think John Cribb has a set for sale.

As for the dimensions they should be be in the Forum under the original Group Purchase discussions.
