How about some aluminum 4-40 rod ends to tie it all together?

LTO, I hear the paypal account firing up again... :lol: I had to get the 3.5mm turnbuckles in order to use the gray ends, but these will work the trick: http://store.rc4wd.com/Aluminum-35mm-Rod-End-with-Steel-Ball-1_p_628.html Thanks for the link! May need very short spacers underneath for proper movement.

I just thin it's the fact that Reg's has too much time on his hands and he may want to spend more attention to his new boy :P
on second thought, maybe he shouldn't be teaching little Hammer such fancy dialect unless Reg's plan is to have a little MC Hammer :lol:

First off, we are ( supposedly ) having a girl :wink: Secondly, I have too much time on my hands? this from the guy that has build 15 runners for Rod while at ( cough, cough ) work and has used a 500X microscope to look at shock shafts! :lol:

Nice pic!

Mike, that is a lot of polishing! Are those turnbuckle ends in the pics above like the ones mentioned in the link earlier? What is being used underneath the ends for spacers?
