Fylingdales Flyer Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I have an ancient Arising Star which I have recently resurrected. The plastic clevis on the outer end of the rudder and elevator pushrods have deteriorated and pulled off. Can anyone tell me what thread the pushrods are as 2mm won't screw on and 3mm are too big? Are they 2.5mm or one of those strange American sizes? I would just like to know the size to save me from having to buy all the likely sizes.

gangster Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 No idea, however I wonder if the Sullivan ones will fit ie the ones you get with gold snakes. They are virtually 2mm but a sifferent thread. Alternatively can you run a 2m die down it. I guess metal Clovis are the way forward. Plastic ones scare me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fylingdales Flyer Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Thanks for the reply Gangster, plastic clevis don’t fill me with confidence as well. If they are similar in size to the Sullivan ones, then they are probably American and not metric. I’ll just order the smaller size an see if they fit. I may end up buying and trying all the nearby sizes yet, but thanks for your help anyway. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
