Another approach is to use threaded rod and insert the threaded rod

portion thru the aluminum tube with jam nuts at both ends for

structural rigidity. Exchange the rod end bearings from  male ends to

female ends and you have a completed flap rod. Used Stainless thread

all from McMaster/Carr, lubed up the thread-all and jammed nutted it

closed.



The reason for this approach was the mess of threading the hollow

aluminum rod, as per Vans plans. I cut a few open (long ways) with a

dremmel and was surprised of the crappy threading that was internal to

the aluminum tubing. I am much happier with this threaded rod solution.

When completed you can't tell any difference visually between the

threaded hollow rod

Just go to NAPA store and get "Rapid Tap - for Aluminum"  and your  threads will come out very well ; mine did , several times.
