I am using metal ball links on both ends for the elevator rods on a SM Hawk. I just want to make sure the turnbuckle doesn't move.
OK,
While the 4/40 lock nut would be the the proper fix to jam the clevis and take any play out of the threads... but is not readily available, why not after setting the initial length of the push rod just solder the left hand threaded clevis or locktite it using the permanent green locktite. After the initial length is set, only small adjustments should be required which can be done from the right hand threaded clevis. I love the H-9 titanium rods, but always hated the fact that one side is left hand thread.
