Hi Cathrine:

    After reading you're clarification thread I believe that the problem
    you are going to have is with the long internal thread in the tube. I
    think what you need to do to get it to work is use a threaded insert
    in the tube so that the rest of the inside diameter of the tube is
    larger than you're threaded rod. As you probably already know on
    small threads keeping you're sizes accurate is critical. I don't have
    a source in particular but if you got threaded rod of steel and
    silver plated it that could possibly work for you. I would worry
    about long exposed threads in silver. I'm sorry not to be of more
    help. Please feel free to call me if you need
    clarification.707-275-3150. 

Best Regards
Harry
