It goes for about $43... Kinda pricy....

I'm going to try something a little different... I'm going to get a 4 x 40 rod, threaded on one end... Then use a 1 1/2" of 1/8" diam. brass tube to join it with a hunk of threaded rod... that way I'll get the length I'm after and I can use swivel ball links on the ends for a slop free control rod...
Hey Paul..Dubro makes a #336 4-40 threaded coupler that has the brass tube and a piece of 4-40 rod that is easy to solder to..not sure if it's really tinned, but it works great if you are comfortable with soldering. 4 sets to a pack I think..
