I tried Sullivan flexible rods on my second SE as I was not too happy with the ones in the kit.

Problem was that the length beyond the tube was too long and the rod flexed when I didn't want it to[&o]

I solved this by soldering a section of 2-56 to the flexible rod just past the point it emerges from the tube (allowing for movement of course), using some brass rod as a sleeve. Seems to be working OK so far.
