    Where does one look for incredibly high quality heim joints?

    I would think that Pegasus would probably have what you're looking for, or if not, know where to get it.

    They carry Aurora and won't bend you over for the opportunity of buying from them.

    What makes Aurora controls better than others?

    Aurora is a well-known name brand is all.

    Much like anything don't pay attention too much attention to name brands as much as finding the solution that best fits the situation.

    When you say 'incredibly high quality' are you looking for long wearing, tight tolerances, corrosion resistance or ?? And what are you planning to build?

    I'm mostly looking for a company that gives detailed specifications on their heim joints. It's for FSAE and I want all the data I can get because that's how we roll. I was going to start the research soon and I was looking for help to just get the search moving forward.

    Here's a link to the company. They make parts for rockets and military aircraft. Is that good enough?

    The Aurora site has most all of the specs.

    Unrelated to question at hand, but which competition are you going to?

    A fledgling fsae program. The seniors are going next year (first car was a capstone project) and everyone else is going the year after. Were designing it from nothing. A fresh start essentially.

    Looks like Im' going to go get lost in Aurora's website. Thanks all for the help.

    Aurora is a long time friend of the magazine that hosts this messageboard.
