threaded rod adjusters
Hi
Anyone know a supplier of these threaded rod adjusters in the UK, I suppose I could buy some threaded rod and weld a big nut on it but was wondering
if there were machined versions available?
I’m going to be making some links very like these but need some hefty adjusters for 2 of them
Thanks

Looks quite a specialised bit of kit. For the adjuster to work as intended one rod end needs to have a left hand thread and the other a right hand
thread. The bar in the middle will also need to be "handed" at each end so as you wind it one way the rod ends close in on each other and
the other way they open out from each other.
Apologiesfor the simplistic explanation its the only way I understand it myself.

yeah thinking about it your right as the threads need to be opposite hands to work, great...

Do they have to be that orientation?
Could they not be female and connect to male rod ends/bushes?

looks like a job for your local machine shop, a bit of hex bar, turn down both sides of the centre hex then thread according to taste.
