WideBoy,
I've got a few Ti rods for the MAC45. Bronze bushing up top and hardened steel sleeve for the needles. Works GREAT. With 65% of the mass of the stock rod, vibration is down, top end RPM is up and throttling is quicker. Cost is $100. This is not a "gouge" price, but rather the going rate for one of my standard Ti roller rods. I've been running one in my MAC45 for about four years now.
Let me know.
Thanks. Brad.
