Silver-solder the clevices on. Its ono ofthe best ways to go anyway.

If you use metal clevices bth ends... then the all-thread will freeley spin in the clevices... and can thread itself RIGHT OUT in flight! You'd have to either use a plastic clevice (or like I did.... a Ball-link I used the all-thread on mine.) or use lock-tite on one clevice to prevent losing the ailerons in flight.

Its not hard to silver solder the clevice on... Radio shack sells a paste type silver solder in a syrnge-like tube. (you'll probably use it so little... its not a bad way to get it.) Sand the wire end shiny.. slip the clevice on and heat the thing up. apply the paste and it will wick in the flux then the glund solder will melt and wick in. Works GREAT! This stuff is "match solder" you can heat the things hot enough for it to work with a common wood stick type match. (good for field repairs of soldered landing gear too.) and... MUCH stronger than electrical or plumber's solders.
