The only problem with those studs is that for MANY applications, they are too short. For example, if your pushrod exits the fuse, and you still have 4 or 5 inches before it reaches the control surface, you need a longer wire.

You raise a good point for those applications.

If that was the case, I would either solder a clevis on the non threaded end and screw the threaded end into the rod, or bend the non threaded end at 90 degrees and use a goldberg clip at the throttle. In both cases, it will still be more secure than CA, hands down!
