Machined new ones. Final dimensions are 0.240” OD, 0.200 1/8” shoulder and an OAL of 1”. See drawing and photos. Springs are permanently attached.

I will make you the carbon rods if you need them. My HS39 runs good now.

Michael, thanks for the offer, but I should be able to make some, if I ever get back to
that Johnson. I should, as the curiosity is killing me, lol.
I have a lathe, but I’m guessing carbon rod is a little delicate to chuck up, perhaps
a 1/4″ collet would be better!
The good this is, that now I know where to buy the carbon rod. Thanks!

Prepare to be boarded!
