Why is the thread important? Cant you chop off the threaded part and re- thread using metric?

How long's you rod mate?  Shocked
Merlin Motorsport sell replacement ones for £6.85 advertised as +35mm.
Overall length 4 1/2 inches, (about 115mm). Looks to be 5/16 UNF thread.
I bought one last week cos I didn't have a rod for the cylinder on my Pop project.
