Default End links for Pfadt sway bars?

Anyone know a supplier for the end links for the Pfadt sway bars? I have one on the rear that is shot.
Sorry if this is a double post; the first one seemed to go off to never-never land.

That's quick and easy but somewhat pricey. I seem to recall someone posting a link to an actual rod end supplier that had them much cheaper. I'll take a look when I get a chance.

Then there are also the LG links at $300 which seems like a cruel joke.

I have no idea why people just don't use high quality male/female rod end assemblies. I do. Way cheaper and you'll have control over choosing the quality of the rod end. Enlarge the 12mm holes on the anti-sway arm to 1/2".

What's your source for the tie rod ends?

You can use anything in 1/2" - QA1, Aurora etc (from Summit and elsewhere). I use teflon lined QA1s, don't remember the price but pretty reasonable ($15-20). QA1 also offers a high-misalignment version, could be useful depending on your setup. You don't need anything super fancy for sway links, pretty much anything that is teflon/ptfe lined will be fine.

This is what I plan on doing when the time comes on my pfadt bars, end links are simple.

Thanks Ben, that's what I wanted.

Are these, when screwed together, long enough?

Depends on your setup, but plenty long. You'll end up screwing them almost fully together.
