2-56 threaded rod
 

Where can I get some 2-56 threaded rod that’s all tread? Most I’ve seen is just threaded on the end.

DuBro, which usually means your LHS will carry it if they are worth anything at all.

Dubro only sell it in 12" lengths. The only other #2-56 rod I've found is from McMaster-Carr and it is also 24" maximum. I found some stainless steel machine threaded, still 24" at Smallparts.com

I think there are two reasons for the short length. If you look at the all thread section in the hardware store, most of the small rods look a lot like pretzles. Shipping and storage without damage is a problem. The other reason is that there really isn't a practical application for threaded rods that small and of that length.

If you want threads on both ends, you are going to be limited to either using a solder coupling or solder on threaded end, or welding two end threaded rods end to end. You are not likely to get a usable pushrod doing that. I personally like the solder on threaded ends. It is easy to gage the final length and it gives a clean and strong joint.

Local hobby store has Du-Bro but only 1” threaded on one side. That’s all I could find on Towers site also.

The model railroaders use this quite often. Need to visit a place that specializes in such. Not a airplace place either.

What is it you want exactly? How long a piece of continiously threaded rod do you want.

12” is fine. I found it on tower thanks to Piper chuck
