- Yes I use at least one locknut.
-
- However, a pushrod doesn't get shorter if it rotates with a clevis on each end.
- Since both ends have the same thread (right or left hand), as one clevis screws
- on the other one screws off at the same rate.
-
- I wish it would work like a turnbuckle, that way you could adjust a pushrod length
- without disconnecting one of the clevises. Anybody make 2-56 rod with a left
- hand thread? I've never seen it.
