Some tips here, not looked into it, but might be worth a look - check out Griff's especially the 'dowel pins!' one sounds promising............ http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,169353.0.html ............ :smiley6600:

ok, one suggestion... i used to work for Stuart Turner pumps many years ago and have a fair knowledge of the stuff they did for their line of model steam engines. Long story short, Stuart Models, now in Bridport, do a range of stainless steel rod.. eg 3/32 , 1/8 and upwards . About £4.50 for a 12 inch rod. feel sure this may be preferable to welding rod ??

hope this is of use.
