That will be the way I will most likely go with a next plane. I could not find any 2-56 rods longer than 12 inches so I ordered them off of ebay. I wasn't paying $40 for 28 of them from Tower. That's overkill, I don't understand why they can't sell them in smaller amounts. Just waiting for all the goods to come in so I can finally finish this headache. Hopefully I won't screw anything up and it will go smoothly.
