I know it's probably a long shot but as title states, looking for a set of connecting rods from an A12A with the 19mm wrist holes.

Happy to pay postage from anywhere.

Joey.

I'm in Australia though? I don't believe there were any A12A's here?

I've tried searching around on the net but can't find anything.

Any ideas on how I might be able to get my hands on some?

Bore the small ends of the normal A12 rods to 19.7mm and call them A12A rods.

Just machine your existing A12 rods out, it is only a minor modification.

In Japan, they usually call the A12A just an "A12". Though they are common, they are not often recognized. The rods have casting ID "H85". They are sometimes called "A13 TS" rods.

been done heaps of time with no failures of any kind.

What happened to the 300 aud arp bolts and rods you said are too cheap to
worry about stock rods? only 133mm ones?
