I have a few old truss rods lying around. I would like to find out where I got this one. Double action, stainless, 15". The nut end is distinctively different than many others. Very compact design on the nut end. Recognize it? Thanks, Bob |

Thanks.Long time since I did any business with Allied, but I looked at some images and looks like the rod alright. Thanks, Bob |

Bob maybe check the adjustor in a vice on each one before using. Back in the day when I was building 2010ish and before Allied had a batch of truss rods that the adjustors failed and broke off, the welds failed. We discussed it here for a few years and all knew to test first before use. I tossed mine and went with the Blanchard rod taking no chances. I'm sure the issue (welds) has been addressed but these could be of that vintage. These rods looked a lot like the Blanchard rod too which you can tell by the dissimilar threads, key to it's unique and notable design. |

Thanks. It's good idea to test any welded truss rod.-Bob |

It's kind of odd that you can't see visible welds on that rod. |
