Jimmy, I have had good luck doing this. Go to a model airplane store and get some landing gear wire that will fit the opening in the rod. If real small then you will have to get some spring wire. Rough the wire up and insert it in the hole with your favorite epoxy glue. Do the same to the other end. Make the wire about three inches long, half in each end. Wrap the section with rod wrapping thread. I have done several rods this way and as far as I know they are still in use. Tony [EMAIL PROTECTED]
