Can anyway tell me where i can buy threaded rod with the correct thread for this conversion? Or even better anyone who makes and sells the parts needed to make this conversion work?

Thanks
Hey There
Have you had any luck with the threaded rod ?
I've done a few builds,along with the bruder excavator with screwdrives,I use 1/2 ,3/8 SST tubing 0.035 wall along with 1/4 wood auger bits ,high torque servos converted to 360 .have any questions feel free to ask.
