Hi,
In the process of attempting to nominally increase the length of the aft
shootbolt
throw, I cut the rod and sleeved it, but it now catches within the sill as
it actuates. I think I might just replace the pushrod with new material,
hopefully
sourced locally. I know it doesn't have to be very strong, so maybe hardware
grade aluminium might be OK for the 10 mm rod replacement? I could also possibly
source the flattish rectangular product Europa uses on the door sill shoulder
width mod, but I don't know its dimensions or what it is made of.
I am open to an requesting any ideas/suggestions on how I should overcome this
without international postage on a 1 m long item, a fortune.
Thanks.

P.S. The 10 mm diameter is an issue of itself, as I don't seem to be able to get
that size locally, but I do have a mate with a lathe, so if I bought 1/2" we
could turn it down.
