Ariel Owners Motorcycle Club

Where can I purchase Ariel Square Four connecting rods?

i think you can get them from the clubs spares but you will have to be a AOMCC member

Is there anyway to confirm that connecting rods are available before becoming a member? I know this sounds disrespectful, and I don't mean it to be. I am repairing this bike for an elderly gentleman and probably won't run into another Ariel Square Four on the bald Prairies of Alberta Canada. I would like to avoid unnecessary costs that would be transferred to this man ie. the membership fee, if in the end you don't have the rods.

hi you can try the club parts and see if they have got them or who is making them it's worth a try

Some rods were newly available recently (May/June) but they might have been nearly all pre-ordered.
Bennet Longman handles these for the Club, you'd probably be best off contacting him via Iron Horse Spares to judge the situation regarding these.

A couple of threads where I've gleaned this info from (last one seems to confirm the manufacturers of the new rods):

I think you can order a set of 4 new Square four con rods from Bennet Longman.

These are the same rods the club used to sell.
I don’t think you need to be a member to buy them.

con rods
I have just installed a set that I purchased from Bennet Longman at Iron horse spares UK.The rods are made by R&R rods in Florida USA.Excellent examples and completely satisfied.I have a set of stock rods with shells that have 3500 miles on them if interested.There was no reason I changed the old ones out other than as a performance engine builder I prefer billet rods.
