Default metal kwik link

Hi,

im finishing a gws slow stick and decided to change the supplied kwik links for metal ones which can be easily adjusted

this metal kwik links come with a metal threaded coupler and my question is if I must weld this coupler to the piano wire or if it would be enough to epoxy it

im using a 8g micro servo

thanks for your answers,

Monhty

Epoxy doesn't stick so well to metal. It is better to solder it. I just used z-bends on my slow stick.

Several of our club members have found defective metal clevises that either break to easily or have loose pins so beware.[]

metal threaded coupler
Will the wire even fit. The inside diameter of the threaded clevis is smaller than the non threaded.
The non threaded is the solder on clevis.

A slow stick isn't going to put much stress on it. Epoxy will work just fine - JB Weld would be even better
