Default Big bore shock shafts

Does anyone know of another make of shock shaft that is the same as the TiNi shock shafts fronts (medium).
This week I snapped 2 on Sunday, and one the week before.
It's like there is a flaw in them, they snap at the top of the thread. Just wondered if anyone knows of a different make that would fit, even normal steel.

Thanks
Neil

Hi Matt,
Wind the sockets on with an Allen key through the hole, holding the shock rod with pliers (with a rag round so to not damage the shaft)
I notice that they now make them tapped using a bolt instead of with circlips.
Wonder if I should try those.

Neil

hi Barry
providing your not making the shaft sounds right, you can used the cutter part on the small flat near the ball socket as manual, or
its worth getting some good shock pliers, https://www.racing-cars.com/multi-sh...grey-am190031g

the threeded ones are no stronger, they just make there less chance of the piston e clip coming off, if you do change to them you will need the screws and spacer
