Re: [VFB] A Good rod-repair site?

[SJ Hassan]

Using simple algebra, it turns out to be .175" on the inside diameter of the rod 2" below the break, and .133" 1.5" above the break. Now I was curious as to where you got the tapered sections or if you indeed make them?

Thank you very much Tony!

If you can get the ID size of the rod about 1 1/2 " above the break and
about 2 "below the break, I will send you a tapered section of graphite
rod for an insert. That is what I use broken sections for. I also have
an outlet for cut off sections.
I should have something that would fit..
