The connecting rods are forgings and incorporate bushings for the gudgeon pins. The gudgeon pin bushings and big end bearing shells are replaceable.

The gudgeon pins are of fully-floating type, being free to turn in both piston and connecting rod. Axial movement of the gudgeon pin is limited by circlips in the gudgeon pin holes.

B235R, B205L/R have sturdier connecting rods with trapezoidal small ends.
