Thread: 7/8 x 14 plastic threaded rod

Anyone know where I can get it?

Do you think its a dumb idea?

I agree totally with your last thought.....

Get a can of Tectyl 506 and give it a wee spray... if you want tidy then go to your local hydraulic hose shop and get a couple of plastic plugs to keep dirt out of hydraulic hoses or fittings... un o-ring -10, I think is 7/8 unf.
