I know doing it yourself is fun, but at 90$ each for the rods, how much is your time worth? And yes I fully understand the bragging rights saying you did it yourself. If you have the tools and know how and can find the info you need, go for it.

I was told today to do the job it should be bronze welded on the thrust area, faced on both sides equally, bored and honed. Then of course you will need a jig to keep your centers for machining.
