I am looking for a threaded coupler with a 12x1.25 thread pitch, about 4 inches or so long. I have tried searching online, but have not had any good luck. Maybe I am not calling it the right name? Anything locally? I know Home Depot has some, but nothing metric (what else is new).

M12 x 1.25?  
Try searching for extension nuts, although I’m not sure about finding one 4" long.

If you go to [www.mcmaster.com](http://www.mcmaster.com) you can search for threaded coupler and find what I’m thinking you’re talking about, but nothing in M12x1.25 if that’s really what you’re looking for.

You need something that is female on both sides, and is M12 1.25?

Would it happen to be a turnbuckle?

Yeah Fry, that’s what I am looking for. I am on mcmaster’s site, but the don’t seem to list an M12 with the right pitch.

As for the JBWeld -I want it to be adjustable until I figure out exactly the way I want it. Plus, I don’t drive a honda anymore, so I am trying to stay away from fixing things with JBWeld.

Come to think of it, when I made Audi shift knobs the thread was funky, it was somewhere between course and fine. gay

I might be able to get away with using an extended open ended lug nut… anyone have just one they don’t need? 12x1.25 of course…
