Default RE: contol rods


ORIGINAL: dsrepairs



Need to buy or make 4-40 control rods 3 5/8'' long threaded on both ends. Scoured the online vendors and found nothing. Anyone know a source for off the shelf premade sizes ? Not in love with the ''all thread'' look but will use if only option. Thanks</p>
What I do when I need to make a rod longer then normal, or exact is; I do use the 4-40 threaded rod, then cover it with carbon fiber tube that fits over the 4-40 rod. It not only makes it look good, but does add more strength too. You can then put ball links or any heavy duty clevis on the ends, preverably black to match the carbon fiber tubes.
