Tony,
I have an original 1m X 10mm length of boltshoot aluminum rod. It seems like
2024
or 6061 would be the most likely candidates. Probably worth all of $2. I'd
be happy to forward the rod to you for the cost of shipping, but that probably
exceeds the value by 3 or 4 times. It's up to you.
Check six,
Bob Borger

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.

get that size locally, but I do have a mate with a lathe, so if I bought 1/2"
we could turn it down.
