Check out MBS Model supply. (3" bellcrank 4/ $2.75). they are pretty much the same or very similar to the white ones from Sig Mfg.

You want 10 ....... or more?

How about making them? Its not that hard and if you get a sequenced production line going its even easier.

I dunno, Chris. At $1.69 each (Sig price) it hardly seems worth it to make your own unless you want 1000 of them or so.

Gil, what will you be using these bellcranks in?? I only ask because in the larger planes I would highly suggest a four inch bellcrank.

I would go with the Sig. Cheap and bullet proof.

With out looking at the $ numbers involve....
If it was me I would just drive over to Andy's, get what you need and save the time and shipping cost.
I think he had good supply of 3-4 brands last time I was in there.

Good old support the local Hobby Shop thing.
