If you need threaded silicon bronze rod, it can be found here.

Rod is well made and serves the purpose well.
while the pvc tube is more than strong enough, the end caps are the weak point. in handling, if the tubes are dropped hard on their ends the caps will break open, as happened with one of the tubes i received. both ends had broken open wide enough for rods to slide out, though fortunately all of them came through in delivery. the tube ends seem to need better shock protection. the products themselves look to be in good order.

Had a an issue with USPS. We changed to UPS and my package arrived in a couple days. Appreciate the supply
Item Good, pricing fair, shipping fair but slow due to USPS.. surprised it made it as the tube ends were only taped shut and the rod was sticking out of one end !!
I ordered several items from Fair Wind. One was a silicon bronze rod to put together the planks to get the height I needed for a centerboard case and an outboard motor well. Unfortunately, the nice cardboard tube Fair wind sent the bronze rod in was bent in shipping, along with the rod, and so part of it was unuseable. I contacted Fair Wind and they got another one sent out the next day. They were very helpful and easy to work with, and the bronze fasteners I've used from the order so far have all been very good quality. Thanks!
Our order was immediately shipped, on time and correct. Thank you!
I had a cart full of items I thought I needed for my rudder project on my Westsail 32. They just didn't have the bolts I needed in a large size so I decided to give them a call. I'm glad I did because I was able to discuss my project in detail and they ended up recommending a better solution. Shipping was fast and secure. Very happy with my purchases and the great customer service!
