I don't plan to thread the rod. Can't do it anyway. I think a simple retainer can be fashioned using a bit of extruded aluminum angle and a nutplate or two with some sort of capture that will simply screw over the upper end of the rod. All that and gravity should do it. Of course, a collar must be attached to the rod so it won't fall out the bottom. It's not yet even a deep thought as finding the rod is the biggie. Thank you so much for your help, Walter Dodson >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
