I've run into another potential snag. I bought some Dubro dafety lock clevis for the control horn end of my linkages and some Dubro Ball links for the servo end. When I got home I realize that only 1 end of my sullivan 4-40 pushrods were threaded. Both the clevis and ball link are self tapping.

What should I do. Just go with metal soldered clevises on the horn end, or would it be better to cut the rod to length and use a threaded brass coupler? I really like the safety lock clevises and hate to give them up, but at the same time I wonder about using brass couplers. The only time I ever used them was on a throttle control.

I guess I do have one other option. My dad has a set of tap and dies, but to be honest I'm not sure if it would have a 4-40 die. Would I be able to just cut the wires to length and then use the die to thread the ends? Is there any issues with threading sullivan 4-40 rods?
