Today I’ve been looking at track-rods, all the ones i have seem to have play in them and as ive got a few ends in stock I thought I’d make some new ones without buying anything. Started with a length of rod cut into 4 lengths and machined down in the lathe and threads cut. Done two to see if they work which they do so I’ll make another pair tomorrow. -

I cut the threads by hand Alan, I’m not that advanced with my lathe work yet. -

I expect some of the ends did too. How did you cut the threads. Lathe or by hand. ? Either way, looks good. -

I didn’t buy the bar either, it came from Johns .
