Richard the rods are medium tensile 7/16" dia. To put the BSF thread on, put the rod in a lathe (support the rod) in the chuck. Put your die holder against the tailstock to keep it square, and carefully turning the chuck by hand, start cutting your thread.
If you search the threads I started you will find one with all the rod lengths for a riveted carrier. Is the reverse lock out lever an alloy one? (MkI* should be?) they were a commercial item, and I think still available from Macs (not sure) The Brit. one was steel and longer if I recall. That is an interesting bend in the gear lever, which might cause you some problems in the gear lever gate. (they were straight) On a second look the bend is above the gate. BTW that mag loader box looks nice!
