Default Seeking Pushrods...

Hello,
I am seeking steel 2-56 x 30" pushrods. My local hardware store dosn't sell that diameter rod. Tower hobbies only sells that size in Bulk, and I am in an area that lacks hobby shops. I guess you could say Somersett County Maine is a Black Hole for hobby shops. The closest hobby shop must be over 100 miles from here. Thus, I am trying to buy from online, and can't seem to find pushrods of that length. I don't mind buying a half dozon or so, but the package of 36@30" pushrods from Tower is not only far more than I need, but would cost me $30+.

Thanks for any help,

Noah

You might want to try Hobby People:

You might not want them fully threaded, but if you look around a bit more, they may have what you need.

Good luck

I was going to suggest that you drive "across the border" to my favorite LHS in Nashua, NH, but you are 200+ miles away.

It's deceptive how big Maine is.

Good luck

Thanks!

I found what I needed.

And yes, it is deceptive. If I were to go to Nashua I's drive west on Rt. 2 to, I believe it's I-93, and south to Nashua. I'd say that would be a good 4-5 Hour drive.
