You could also use the self threading nylon clevis and no more worries... just use and abuse.

Bicycle spokes use a 2/56 thread. Perfect for pushrods. Most SPADS can be made with household items, except for maybe the coroplast. You have to raid election signs or convenience stores for those.
Be careful with those nylon clevises. I've seen MANY shear on other guys' planes...and I've only been flying 2 years. Especially prone to shearing in the colder temps. I only use nylon on throttles.
