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!

Cheers Lynn, yes the trigger was alloy, bit gutted about being broke,,,,, but that's life.
I did not know the gear sticks were straight, wonder why that has been done (other than a large lumberjack could not get first without gouging himself with the gear stick) I could not see any signs of it being heated either.. I think I will leave it like that for now then straighten it later after the carrier has been to W&P (That's code for me bottling it)

The shift lever in my MKII has the same bends as Richies. Just for your info.Not sure that is relevant to yours,Rich.

The step in the stick is normal, the photo here gives the illusion that the gear stick is bent back or as we say round here "banana'd"..... I have checked and it's straight....
