Hello, I recently received a Mac .45 that needs a set of rod needles.Are the CMB .45 V-5 connecting rod needles the same as the MAC .45? If so maybe Stu has a set to sell me. 2nd problem is how do I find a intake housing o-ring? Any good advise greatly appreciated. If someone has the mac .45 needles and oring to sell Please let me know.Paypal ready. thanks all. JOE

Check with Phil Thomas as he was recently running Mac-45's
He would prolly know about rod needles and may be able to help with the O-Rings also

Thanks Danny, I sent Stu an Email. I hope he has a few left,I fear he got rid of all the old stock.

The V5 needles should be the same and probably the rs style engines. I’m sure he has em. Maybe try Al Hobbs for the orings. Not sure if his AA engines utilized them or not.

I would think a bearing supply house would be able to track them down by dimensions..
A lot of motors use the same needles, and depending upon the crank pin size it may be 1 or 2 different amounts used.

Try a local bearing supply business or maybe even Boca bearings, talk directly to a rep that can look up things up, not the order desk...
