Thanks for your help. Late last night I was wondering whether I could solder a clevis on the servo end of the rod and use a screw on plastic clevis on the tail end, so I am glad to hear confirmation that this will work fine.

One clarification: Are plastic threaded clevises sufficient at the tail end, or should I use metal. If I use metal, is there a problem with metal-on-metal causing interference, or do people just put adhesive on the threads?

Thanks,

Travis
