They are 5/16 X 24 thread. I picked up the Drag Specialties version (part number DS325510) for $16 each plated. Compared to what I was seeing on the industrial supply side, quite a bit better deal unless of course you have a source that would donate them to your cause...

I used these, but when you look at the listing, you'll see they aren't chromed. But, they're working fine for me and the price was right.

Tip...While you have the shift rod off the bike, you can polish it to a chrome like appearance using NeverDull, Semichrome, etc.

This is a great price for these. I went through McMasters but this is better.

Ordered two of these also. Buffed them and they look like chrome. Nice joints.
