Have you tried any local hobby shops? They may have those, but likely will be in SAE thread sizes. Worth a shot.

AAA Hobbies in Lawnside? on White horse pike

Air Hobbies in Mount Holly on Rt-38

Not sure what's out your way.

Maybe a place like Tractor Supply. I've found all sorts of odd stuff there.

Well stocked hardware store such as VHR in Voorhees on RT-561.

Good luck.

What size thread and socket?

     I got mine from Speedway. It was years ago, but I don't remember if I got the right size as the vintage carburetor linkage can be larger.  4thinking6 
Same with JEGS. You need fat linkage for those 4BBL's.

as a side story- I went to the Wolfsburg west web site. On there they sell parts to the set up. Oh Wow! they have the connectors! ordered two of them, waited a week and they arrived- twice the size of the original ones! It seems that on the web site, they only carry parts for the original style linkage that goes behind the fan shroud. They just don't tell you that on the web site. I have the CSP linkage. From Germany. They don't sell parts. =whiteflag

I finally ordered them from the web. Hopefully will be here Friday.
