Standard 16m Head Connectors, where to buy?
After searching previous posts for about an hour for what I thought would be there, I've come up with zero, so my apologies if this has been covered before, I can't find it.
Anyway, I want to get a few spare standard 16m head connectors. Now, with no disrespect to our honored vendors on here, these things look like mass produced items you should be able to find in a hardware store or something for a couple of bucks. But, I'm not finding anything with a search. I know they aren't going to be called "head connectors". They look like some kind of male coupling connector, but searching for that only yields the female connectors.
So, my questions are what do you actually call these things and where do they sell them?
Thanks for any info,
JA

I ordered an Dh168 Evo head to fit a Dh168 non-Evo body.
They said that they could make the Evo head with the M16 bolt to fit...perfect!
When I received the Evo head it had an M14 Bolt!
So what to do now? Contact the vendor who recommended a neck adapter.
OK, got that, but knew that this would create a gap between the head and body, and of course it did! And a big one at that...
The only solution was to change the M14 to an M16 bolt.
So that's what I did and it worked, but the neck gap remained.
It turns out the Evo neck bolt sits much lower in the head then the non-Evo head.
Long story short, I bought the longest M16 hex bolt they had at the nut n bolt store.
Took it home, clamped it down and cut it with a good ol' hacksaw. Worked like a charm.
Some pics of the head bolt swap for those who might be curious..
