why don't you use a thread on clevis on one end and a Z bend on the other.
You've got to get away from those Z bends sooner or later, might as well be sooner...
As for the rest of the responses, they are all pretty much on track. You'll find that as you get more experience there are usually numerous ways to accomplish any task with models, some better than others. You'll need to do as you have here and ask questions, then try things that seem to make sense to you, or develop your own technique.
whats wrong with z bends on a four star?
