I just went down to my local big-box, found the all-thread isle, bought a hand-full of 3/8" 16 lengths of all-thread, some threaded sleeves to join the rods together, a couple of 3/8" square-nuts, went home and flattened one corner of the nuts on my grinder and damned if I don't have a pretty good imitation of that high dollar threaded measuring device. I haven't needed it yet but I don't know why it won't work. Even if it doesn't I can always use the all-thread.
