... 6mm steel rod Wim, with a groove cut into it all the way around for the crimp lug to get a grip onto. A heavy duty crimp tool was used to really get a good purchase onto the rod.
Heat shrink over the rod, followed by a final adhesive shrink tube for the ends. Iv,e swung on the rods and pulled them and there nice and solid. To add some self confidence i have mounted / positioned the rods so that they are slightly in compression ie: they are not pulling "up" on the lnb boom arms.
