Description

Our A-Series fast road package includes a set of MED steel H-beam conrods, ARP bolts and Omega diecast pistons, with a wide variety of options to perfectly suit your rebuild project.

Although labelled as 'fast road', these are also well suited to mild competition engines with a compression ratio up to 11:1. For full competition usage, we would recommend upgrading to forged Omega piston and conrod kit, which is lighter and better suited to higher compression.

The latest MED steel conrod design sees weight reduced to an incredible 435g for 13/16" (including the bolts), compared to around 685g of an equivalent standard conrod - a 37% weight reduction.

Kit contents and options

MED steel H-beam conrod set
ARP conrod bolts
Omega diecast piston set

We can supply conrods to suit a Cooper S or Sprite crankshaft with 1.625" diameter big ends, or regular 1275/A+ with 1.750" big ends.

The small offset dish option in +20, +40 and +60 equates 6.5cc, and for 73.5mm this is 7cc. For +20 and +40 we keep an optional 10cc large dish piston.

Conrod features

13/16" little end bush for Omega diecast pistons
5.750" length, for standard height pistons
Fully machined
Uniform machine peening
Balanced end-to-end within a gram
Laser-etched MED logo
Fitted with ARP fasteners

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes these better than standard conrods?

There's three benefits - strength, light weight and high quality. H-section steel conrods are considerably stronger than mass-produced standard conrods, which were never designed for high performance applications. Standard conrods can be lightened and balanced, but even then our steel conrods will be lighter and stronger. The highly accurate production process allows for exact build tolerances; you will not find a higher quality A-Series conrod.

Which pistons will these work with?

This set features a bushed little end to accept fully-floating gudgeon pins with a choice of 13/16" or 18mm diameter pins. They are an ideal match for our range of 1.498" standard compression height Omega pistons. Choose the 13/16" option for Omega diecast and 18cc forced induction pistons, and 18mm for our lightweight Omega forged race pistons.

Will these work with all 1275 A-Series crankshafts?

These specific conrods feature 1.625-inch big ends to suit Cooper S, MG Midget, Sprite and most EN40B steel crankshafts.

What torque setting should be used on the bolts?

These should be torqued to 30lb.ft, or preferably checked using an ARP rod bolt stretch gauge and stretched to 0.0050"-0.0055". You will need a 12-point 3/8" socket/spanner to do this.
