Karolh. I am not sure I understand your technique. If you drill a hole 2'' from the end of the CF rod and then make a 90 degree bend in the metal rod then how do you get the rod into the tube. I just can't picture that.


I use a CF rod that has a hole a bit larger than the dia. of the metal rod used. The small 90 deg. bend or hook at one end of the rod is just big enough to slide down inside the CF rod, and then the bent end is hooked through the hole in the CF rod, and the epoxy holds it in place.
