Here is my solution for stiff, yet by light push rods
I use a .156" hard aluminum rod, drill and tap both ends and screw in a 4-40 threaded rod piece in each end.
Do you sell this type rod? Also do you need a lathe to drill the ends?
Thanks for your many posts that gives us some really good info.
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Actually, I started making these for my own use as I do for anything I end up selling like the standoffs. If I like them and they work well, I offer it to someone else that might like it.
So, it is possible to drill the end without a lathe, but rather tricky and not easy. If you have even a small lathe it would be easy to do.
I haven't offered to sell these but I'm willing to make them to the length one needs as long as they tell me the lenght from tip to tip of the 4-40 inserts. I also color them as I do with the standoff's.
I haven't decided on a price yet because I don't know how long it takes to make them except for myself. and this I don't count the time.
