I was at the airport today and in light of our recent discussions on
push rods, I measured my aileron push rods. My rods measure 1 5/8"
between the lock nuts. A threaded rod approx 3 inches in length
should work so a bolt in the
-30 size should be about right. This is ballpark so make to f

I'm thinking this is more about options than looks. Even so I'm
guessing both of ours are / will be painted. Mine is.

In my opinion you don't need steel rivets. John Thorp in his over designed
T-18 used aluminum rivets in the pushrods. With that said, go to
click on commercial steel rivets, there phone number
1-800-RRRIVET. You can spend days in their on line catalog.

Cherry rivets are structurally a substitute for solid rivets. I don't think
you will have any corrosion issues with monel rivets as monel is corrosion
resistant and is used in aircraft construction where two different metals are
joined, typically aluminum and steel.

I've seen a lot of production push rods that used alum rivets.
With that said I welded "Some" of mine.

I use solid long rivets that go all the way though to the other end then

I used standard 1/8" steel rivets. Just did an annual and after 7 years of
flying and 425 flight hours they show no signs of wear or loosening. You

One of my flying KR2's has aileron cables and the other push-rods and I
must say I prefer the push-rods, no need to check cable tension, less
chance of flutter and a slightly more positive feel.
