Just as a point of interest, if you don't think your welding is not up to scratch I would strongly recommend that you get someone who will guarantee that it will not break under pressure as it will under enormous tension.

As I was checking my shaft a spring setup the Australian carriers must have a smaller diameter shaft as I just measured my Canadian one and it is 3/4"x12TPI and not the 5/8 UNF as you have specified for the Australian carriers. So there would have to be some dimension revisions if we would like to make one to use on the Canadian carriers. Just thought I would let everyone know if you were going to make one for the British/Canadian carriers

Dave, yes the rods are interchangeable with the correct nuts, however you do need the matching threaded inner part to the puller.
