Anybody with the JPR Cam install rods wanna do me a favor?
Can you measure the length and width of the rods for me? I don't feel like spending a hundred bucks on some roundstock with feet on the end when I have a full machine shop at my disposal. Thanks!

Use the wooden dowels from Walmart.....do a google search. Works like a charm. They are 7/16th and 21" long.

yeah? I'd be worried about getting wood chips in the motor from splintering while sliding it in, I guess I'm just being paranoid?
