Last year, I had to make all new rheostat studs for my very (very) old EZ-GO
golf cart. They'd discontinued the part.

Nothin' for it but copper rod, lathe time, and some frustration getting my
rake angles right.

(single-point threading of copper is a pain in the ass!)

That stuff that you made, you could not make out of 1/4" copper bar,

I did find several occasions where a big 1/4" thick copper bar was
useful, indeed.

I think that I will agree with you and hang on to this bar.
