How to extend length of CF rods...
Does anyone knows how to enlarge the length of CF rods to be used as push rods. I need 4.5 feet long rod but most i found are 3.5 feet in length....
Do you guys do the joint internally by use of metal rod to join 2 CF rods together or use external coupling method with sleeve over main rod to join them together....

ORIGINAL: Magne
An external (carbon fibre tube) sleeve will be much stiffer than an internal one.

If your sleeve is made from uni-direction material or pultruded then you want to wrap the tube with some fiber to prevent it from splitting.
