Dave,

Click on:[link]http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/aurorabrng.php[/link]

I bought the both the MW-2 and the MM-2. The MW-2 has 6-32 female threads just like a clevis. The MM-2 has 6-32 male threads. I pulled the picture of the MM-2 off the web-site and I can't seem to find my picture of the other one. Anyway, the construction is certainly sturdy and they should last many airframe lifetimes! The hole in the ball is .125" which makes it correct for a 5-40 screw. I got Allen cap screws from Micro Fasteners. Central Hobbies sells 6-32 titanium threaded rod ends that are bonded into carbon pushrods that should work well. This control system is total over-kill but I think that it is worth it, especially when dealing with a flying stab.

Tell us more about that F-8 landing gear......................

I hope that this helps,

John
