Now you see Sam, I’m way ahead of you. First the rod has to be 8mm 1.25 thread and trying to find a long enough bolt threaded to the head let alone a rod here in the USA is like look for Rocking house S**t. Millimeters here means no-com-pren-day.
The longest I found so far is a 60mm bolt I used a 2-inch piece of pipe cut to 2inches long and a steel plate with a hole in it. I got this stuff on and real tight too then backed off coz I was worried about snapping the bolt or threading.
Now do you see my dilemma?
