It seems that every time I go to place an order with HobbyKing, linkage stoppers are out of stock. For my first scratch build, I simply used lineman pliers to bend piano wire into a "Z" on both ends. While this menthod works, it's a bit of a pain to attach to the control arms and it's looser than than I would like it to be.
So what's the secret to success when making your own push rods? Are plastic or metal clevis recommended? Do you buy pre-threadded rod? Any secrets to bending the "Z"?
