    Default Weld-on tabs

    Hopefully a quick and easy questionbut does anyone know a business that can supply a range of weld on tabs? This would make manufacturing things a bit easier without trying to hand cut a multitude of tabs.

    Cheers

    Laser cutters every where, though you will need to give them an idea of what you want.

    This is the sort of thing I'm looking for......

    http://shop.weldtab.com/main.sc

    If only there was somewhere in Australia that stocks this sort of thing?
    With the dollar the way it is it wouldn't cost much to ship some in anyway.

    No probs. I haven't used them yet, so no idea on price. Good variety of components though hey.

    Good link and good find.
    They even have the tube end inserts for the rod ends I need as well. Hopefully their price is on the mark too

    Just to follow up I called Racemod and they quoted $14.50 each for a rod end insert. I was told that these are imported from the USA anyway so now I'm just going to source overseas.
