Hello All I just got home form the hardware store. Today I found out that they had a 2' long 1x8 all thread rod, and nuts to fit. the rod was more expensive than what I bough mine for, but the nuts were $1.68 ea.the thickness of the nut is heaver than I like,but a saw or metal cutting wheel will handle that problem. Just though you would all like to know that Parts are easer to find than ever before. ;-)
