WTS, Renault 807 "Gordini"? rods, $160
« on: Wednesday,February 01, 2023, 07:06:46 PM »
I know the Renault engine cars are in the minority here but I have a set of good "Gordini" type big end rods to part with.
I've ordered a set of new Max Speeding rods mostly for their lighter weight.
Nothing at all wrong with these rods.
They do have the "Gordini" type big ends which use a bolt into the rod and have locating pins for the cap rather than the nut and bolt of standard rods.
They DO NOT however have bushed small ends although that can be modified.
ARP rod bolts are available for these rods.
$160 and free USPS flat-rate shipping in CONUS.
Can export, buyer pays shipping.

I believe they are standard late 807 engine sizes.
My Mitutoyo calipers put the pin bore at .825" cold, my new pins .8265".
Manual says .787"/20 mm, so these must be a bit larger.
Big end without a bearing at 2.030"
Center to center 5.363"/13.62 cm.

I had misplaced these, just found them again.
Still available and a decent upgrade without the expense of custom rods.
