Hi Glen,
your setup looks great for a super portable EQ mount for small OTAs.
You'll need a quality die to cut a new thread on that SS CW rod! I'd search for shoulder screws or bolts instead. Plenty on ebay at various lengths. I use one as a CW shaft on my AYO mount, as I had spare CWs with 16 mm bore, rather than the standard 20 mm.
