[QUOTE="oexing, post: 148425, member: 1493"] As can be expected all parts home made from material I found in Ebay or Aliexpress. You want grade 5 titanium for max. strength so have a search in these platforms. I got rods in oversize for spindles for compensating not so straight rods to clean up when turning to exact sizes. I have IGUS plastic bushes in the girder, maintenance free I hope. Titanium is not the very best in combination with these bushes, stainless steel better. But in all likelyhood I will never wear them out so some weight saving is worthwhile for me - and to impress people , hihi . Machining titanium is not too tricky, use cutting oil and no blunt cutters tolerated. A bit like a mix of ht alu and stainless so nice sharp tools a must. All threads and nuts in photo are metric fine as I made Brampton links in alu with left hand taps M 12x1 and M 14x1 on one side and other side right hand like standard but metric. But be careful with titanium or stainless, lubrication on threads is critical for avoiding seizures.
