Filing would help but I personally will not be setting this display up
over and over and the depth of the mounting stud "in the airplane
itself" will be ever changing, which would change the location of the
flat spot on the rod.

Now if only I could find a key way slotted threaded rod.....

Sign up the the Yahoo 7x12 minilathe group or the Yahoo X series mills
group and ask. Someone will probably produce some for you. About a 5min
job on a mill. If you were near me in the UK I'd do it for a couple of
beers.

I've made sawdust a long time but a couple of years ago bought a cheap
Asian 7x12 minilathe and a tiny X1 mill (Now have a much bigger
mill/drill) and I've taken to making swarf too.

For so long there was the situation "what I need for this job is....". Now
I just make it. Absolutly great. I can be completely free and imaginative
about the way I can tackle projects.
