I get most of my heims at Midwest Control. Occasionally I'll use Speedway or Jegs or Summit, but I've been really happy with selection, quality, and pricing from Midwest.

Here's my copy of the one you have. Custom stainless jack screw and Teflon lined stainless heims and nuts.

I know you said Midwest is where to get them, but what size or part # would it be? Would like to do this mod when installing my predator mount....

2.500" for a minimum center to center at the eyes of about 4.375". You could easily go shorter, though. The on-bike length varies some, but mine was in the neighborhood 4.5".

Midwest has a Stainless turnbuckle (HBT6-1.125) that would work.

You could also do a male jack screw in carbon with matching carbon (teflon race) ends to save some money. (JSI-6F-2.125, MTF-6, MTFL-6)
