Thanks for that Brian. It's a great tutorial, but then Stephen (Skiprat) is an engineer and makes it look easy. Having tried it I can tell you it's not easy! Aslo, this doesn't solve the problem of needing a die (female thread) to match. What Skippie does is to make up these rods, use one piece as a tap and drill out another piece to mount as the male part of the joint. No need for a tap then!
