       I was wondering if someone could tell me where to get the 1/2"
       ball ends for the fabco cylinders.

       I found these, pretty pricey. 8-32 doesn't seem to be a common
       size for balls lol

       Hi AZ67Mustang,
       I strongly recomend using the Nylon type.....The cup sockets are
       made from 6061 Aluminium, a harder Ball material such as Steel
       or Brass would likely over time wear out that difficult to
       machine and replace Aluminium Socket assembly. We redsigned that
       Ball and Socket assembly to hold up to a tested 200LBS of force
       without Thread failure. The redesign of that socket assembly
       means that those Nylon Balls can be easily replaced in under 5
       minutes and cost under a buck to do so. Note, use no lubricant
       in the Ball and socket assembly...it just attracts "FOD" and
       will actually speed up any frictional wear within the assembly.
