Bob , you are absolutely right on that part. but the one last rod to build is not written right in the instructions.
I think what I am wanting to hear is that the last push-rod is 6.5 threaded and the other end (non-threaded) is going
to be 8 inches.
But they way the instructions read they are saying put the non-threaded 6.5 inch into the dowel.
I guess I am wrong and I am not seeing that right? [:-]
