Seriously, why are you wasting so much time and money trying shortcuts instead of just buying the correct parts? The threaded rod is an excellent example. All the effort to have a substandard approximation of the correct stud that is readily available.

Make a list of what you need and then buy it all at once from an online shop to reduce shipping charges.

If a learned one thing from my dad being a mechanic it was to do the job right the first time and cheap parts usually aren’t cheap in the long run.
