wiping rod

[Randy Bohannon]

I was unaware that you had to ask for them to be drilled and tapped.I thought to drill and tapping delrin would not lead to longevity of the threads.I bought a 8/32 female adapter and drilled as square of a hole as I could muster and epoxied the threaded end in.Now I have a brass female attachment as opposed to delrin,I think this will be a better set up than the delrin tapped hole and works perfectly.

Yup, done that on my first delrin rod 15 years ago. Most likely the best way to go, .

I made up my own delrin rods. I threaded the end male 1/4-20 and made a brass tip to fit and glued it on. The brass was taped 8-32 to fit brushes and jags. I have not had any problems yet.
