McMaster Carr.

Thanks,  As I recall you recommend using the 1/2 inch version
sleeved down for a 3/8 inch bolt.  Is that correct?   Should there
be one one each end of the strut or is one sufficient?      Jerry

The 3/8 bolt is optional. Just an esthetic thing really. You can use
1/2 inch bolts if you wish.

One on each end of the strut. Order one male left hand and one male
right hand thread. McMaster Carr also has a left hand 1/2 inch tap I
think. That way you can simply loosen the lock nut and turn the strut
to adjust the thrust line pitch. This picture shows the old solid ball
joints. Maybe you can make one for Barny while you are at it. He needs
one.

You can also drill out a nut and weld it somewhere in the middle of the
strut. It give you something to put a wrench on for adjusting.
