I had a Thought that if the rod was screwed up might be able to put shrink wrap on the rod to create a viable surface.
Yea we sort of got off the main subject of going from Vac to electric. But I started it so. . . . .
Ya know they make a Marine shrink tube that has Adhesives on the inside .Its very thick thou.
Im gunna talk to my Friend Crabby Jack & see what comes out of his head (he's a mopar guy & a old skewl machinist)
One never knows what he can think up.
