Does anyone know the diameter of the pull rods on a Sho Bud Pro III custom.
Thanks

It's been a good while since I worked on Pro III, But I think they are 7/64".

If you are not a perfectionist, go to Lowes, or Home Depot, and buy a length of Cieling grid wire. It is about 10 foot long, and is very cheap. Then all you need is a 5-40 die, to cut the threads. It is close enough, and it works.
