75 model LDG I have been told they are 7/64 so I ordered a couple --not mine--my rods are almost twice that diameter. I have an M-5 0.8 die that will screw on one of my threaded ones.Any comments ? Thanks. Bill.

I would expect to see 0.187, at least that's what mine are, 0.187 = 3/16 = #10. And that would be the correct size for a 10-32 thread. If you have a 0.166, that would be close to the 0.164 for a #8 that would be for a 8-32 thread.

If you mean the pull rods for the fingers they are .1094 or 7/64. Martin.

I ordered 4 short 7/64 rods and found out they are way too small for this 75 Bud and yes they mic .1094 as Martin said.
Mine mic .166

John --when you are trying to locate them do you ask for a 10 X 32 rod ?

Jerry---rest easy, I'm not messing with the LDG just experimenting with some hook ups on my Pro II.

The pedal rods should be 5/32" in diameter. The 10-32 thread is machine formed on the rod, which makes it slightly larger that the actual diameter of the rod. If you want to thread some rods, you need to use 3/16" rods.
