Message	I just searched MC under "turnbuckle" and they all seem to be about 7" in length. I need like 3, max. Did you just get a threaded rod from Sears or somewhere? There's only two places that use that kind of rod end for adjustable miata links, so not every vendor uses them. In fact, no vendor uses them ;)
