I just saw this term used in a posting on door lock set screws but I am not familiar with that term. I'm looking for a spacer/joiner tube with interior threads for a 3/16 OD rod. My local Ace guy can't help me. I am not sure he even understands me. I am attempting to cut a looooong "throttle rod" with the spring loaded ends and make a shorter adjustable one out of it. I do not know the correct nomenclature for the piece of interior threaded tubing I am looking for. Can anyone help with the nomenclature and source of such an animal? I hope I am clear as to what I am looking for and that someone can help me with a source. I just need a piece about 3" long. Thanks, Lawson
