Source for stainless pushrods?

[Guest]

I'm looking for a source of threaded 1/8" stainless steel pushrods. (I assume that the rods sold on the mass e-tailer websites are plain carbon.)
For use in subs, the reasons are obvious.

I guess I could just buy rod and thread it myself since I have dies, but I'm not sure how hard it would be to thread stainless. And extra polishing should help maintain positive seals through the WTC, right?

I would have thought this would be an easy find. Anybody have any ideas? And if this is an absolutely idiotic question, let me know that too!Thanks.

Threading stainless is a BI--H!!!!!

You can buy stainless rod from K&S although most shops do not stock it. You can order right from K&S though.
I like Andy's idea. Very cool!! BD.

Small Parts.com has the widest

Small Parts.com has the widest selection I have ever seen and I use the large Sullivan brass cleavis souldered with a 3/32 or the next size smaller than 1/8 stainless precition rod and a large robust rubber bellows from MHZ USA.com mounted on a K and S tube of the apropreate size.
So far have never had one fail.
