Most of the H section rods I have seen have been VERY similar. HKS/Cosworth/Farndon/Arrow/Carillo etc. all look like they have come from the same parents. I think all the bolts are the same spec too- 12.9 multi-heads like ARP. I know that Burton used to buy Arrows and market them under their own name, and I know that HKS used to use Farndon although I think they do actually do their own now because they got a BIG kicking on price. Seems like theres a lot of inter-mixing with things like steel rods and cranks. Probably because setting up the manufacturing for them is massively expensive.
