Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!

I did have the thought of threading a rod so I wouldn't have to weld those stock throttle rods together. Those are 1/4-36 threads. So I ordered a die and got a piece of 1/4" rod.



This turned out to be a dismal failure. It took me an hour to get about a half inch of threads cut on that rod. I still think that would be a little cleaner than my weld job, so I'm going to try to find all-thread with those threads or maybe have a machinist make me one.

I'll still have to deal with connecting this new throttle rod to the fun pedal, but that'll have to wait until I get the body back on.

But, hey! One more thing scratched off the build list
