I measured the outside distance from queen post to queen post and marked this on a piece of .015" brass wire. After bending the wire at the marks and test-fitting I super-glued the wire to the queen posts. The ends are not attached.Cheating, I know. I prefer hardened steel wire to brass but brass is easier. Steel stays straight whenv the car is handled. Fishing line always sags for me.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16500829389343836212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353096643360504194.post-49049180559762053852016-03-12T10:57:44.195-05:002016-03-12T10:57:44.195-05:00How did you do the truss rods?How did you do the truss rods?David Emeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345197518868472082noreply@blogger.com
