I'm testing another option now before making a decision. I might make an adjustable 'sleeve' & upsize the outer end of things to actually use a legit TRE vs. a heim-joint.
A heavier-duty TRE that I tried was too large. I could ream the spindles TRE pad but the threaded portion was too large IMO so I'm waiting for another option to arrive for testing. Earliest I could get it here is Tues AM

This option will be the easiest way to go as I already have the materials to make it work as far as the install is concerned.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
