I use ball links on almost all of my control surfaces and am really happy with how clean they install. However, I still haven't found a setup to use on the non threaded end of the rod that I really like.
I have used solder clevises or soldered on a threaded coupler. I generally prefer the threaded coupler because I like being able to adjust on the clevis/control horn end.
I was wondering if its practical to thread the other end of the pushrod with a die

In the long run using a die would be more economical than the threaded couplers and a cleaner install as well.
I have never used a die, is it practical for a 4-40 or 2-56 sized pushrod?
