Looking for Something Simular To A Heim Joint

[Bohemian]

So I'm Looking for Something Simular To A Heim Joint, but not a heim joint, basically a heim joint without the threaded male end on it or female pocket threaded into it, Preferably round.

I'd like to use such a widget like a washer, that'll give you off angle options like you'd typically use a heim joint on a rod end for.

I do not know if such a thing exists or what it might be called if it does.

So I'm hoping one of you all can shed some light on such a widget.

I'm needing something with a 5/8" ID and about 1" OD and as thin as I can get it probably like 1/2" or less, I can probably adapt & overcome some size issues IF of course such a thing even exists.

My plan B is make some angle spacers/washers but that's less than ideal.

thanks in advance.

1/2 thickness will be an issue.

1/2 thickness will be an issue.

Especially if you need it for strength…. Post up what it’s intended purpose is and maybe you’ll get some other ideas.

I know we use a pair of washers Like that on top of our twin post hydraulic elevators.
one washer is convex and the other concave that nest together. They are for about a 1” dia bolt though. About 3/8 to 1/2” thick.

Looks like for 5/8” I.d. The o.d. Is around 1.25”

Looks like one of these Spherical Bearings is pretty close, smaller diameter and narrower width would be better, but if i can't find something closer I think I can make it work.
