Thanks Tom, greatly appreciate your input here and love reading your posts throughout the forum.
Rod-end couplings are available at my local farmer’s outlet for about $8US.
I have no problem finding Heim joints with a straight through 1/4″ hole, what I’m trying to establish is, can I avoid simply using epoxy to attach the threaded rod and replace that connection with a longer “press-in” stud? Like the original Clay supplied (in my upgrade kit) but longer, it is 1/4″ on one side (threaded) and larger on the outside end and tapered. I’m guessing Clay probably wouldn’t offer these Micro Adjuster Kits himself for that reason? Of course I may be wrong.
It’s the ball joints that Clay supplies that I can’t find on the internet. (see pics) This mainly applies to my situation using the WE130UP3 and “L” brackets, which are machined to be a perfect and close fit together. Of course I could buy the WEUP4 set and press the stud out, but I don’t need or want to pay for the extra alterations cost of adding a broached hole in the end and including nuts.
I can see that I will most likely fail in my quest to “press in” a longer threaded 1/4″ stud and adopt the epoxy solution like everyone else.
It’s my OCD guiding me here!
