Hi Rory and Charles, this has been an interesting thread, I bought my Saenz rods on the assumption (never Assume anything) that they used Renault shells, it was Rory's question that alerted me to this difference as a result of which I spent a good deal of time researching possible bearings last weekend.
I ordered what I considered to be suitable shells, they arrived today, I have assembled them into one of the Saenz rods, torqued down using the proper assembly lube.The bearing internal measurement is 1.499" which will give a running clearance of .003" if the crank is bang on at 38mm.
These are Suzuki shells.There are numerous sets of these Saenz Conrods out there and while no information was forthcoming someone must have drawn/ specified the dimensions to Saenz.
Saenz provide a spec sheet to be completed by the customer ( I know this because I Had several sets of 12/4 rods made by them a few years ago)and you need to know what shells you are going to use at this point.
Hopefully I have attached some photos which give all the informations I have.
Sorry, missed off part number on box.
