Identified a potential failure on the elevator control on my new toy. The only solution without surgery is a 30' threaded end pushrod such as a DUBRO 2-56 x 30" (DUB 173) or the longer version (DUB 890). The UK importer has none in stock until end FEB
If anybody has one spare please advise 07740 642832

OR (may be a silly request) but if there any ex cycle builders with a spoke thread roller !

I know this might be a silly reply but I wonder if proper bike shops keep long wire to make up spokes and then thread 'em. Also I am sure you don't need 30 feet. ;) 30" should do it.

I'm assuming the wire has to pass through a pre-existing plastic guide tube?
What about 2mm piano wire and solder a coupler on after its passed through the tube?

Correct Mike. and I have carried out just that but the coupler is hidden so i would be much happier with an integral thread to screw into the ball link connector

Hi Kevin - Just had a rummage best I can offer are 10 off M2 x 300mm threaded rod - threaded 20mm.
These came from Logic RC - in Hertford perhaps they may have what you want - www.LogicRC.com
Other option is to run a thread cutting die down suitably sized piano wire.
Hope you get sorted.
Regards
Colin.

Done that, piano wire and bought a set of very small metric dies and threaded it myself. For B25 bomber internal elevator control as Horizon had left it out of the box :(
