There are 1/2" steel (wouldn't use aluminium for these) rod ends with 1/4" threads on them (AN490HT-8P) that are pushed into the ends of the tube and gas welded in place. The rod end bearings (F34-14) then screw onto the threads. I used Heim or Fafnel bearings with AN3 bolts to to suit thru the eyes. 5/8" tube takes the -10P ends and F35-14 bearings. I used this for the elevator rod and supported it mid length. These bits are all in the ASS catalog but you could probably get them locally via Aviaquip and save on the killer freight from the USA. Just explain what you want and let them check it all fits together before dispatch. Don't forget to allow for the length of the rod ends before you cut your tube.
