Went with a 4' piece I have a couple different sizes of stabilizers I want to build.Ferrules<a href="https://goodwinds.com/625-aluminum-ferrule.html" target="_blank">https://goodwinds.com/625-aluminum-ferrule.html</a>These fit nice over the outside of the carbon rod. Cut them down to about 1 7/8 long (roughly 3 per ferrule).Brass Flanges (2) 5/8 flange diameter, 1/2 outside diameter, 3/8 internal diameter, 1 inch longFound these at lowes, runnings and macs (typical hardware stores)brass bearing sleeve (1) - 3/8 outside diameter, 1/4 internal diameter, 1 inch longFound these at lowes, runnings and macs (typical hardware stores)This fits inside one of the brass flanges. I used jb weld inbetween to keep them together. I also had to open the 1/4 internal diameter by 1/64 so I could get the tap to go down to create my 5/16 - 24 threads.1 5/16 - 24 thread bolt 2 inches long. Also used jb weld to lock the bolt inside the one flange without the sleeve. Once that set up, I used my bench grinder to round the head of the bolt to match the diameter of the flange. You could may be go to 1 3/4 or 1 1/2 bolt but one inch of external threads fits fine inside my risers.1 5/16 - 24 thread socket head bolt to attach the weightsFor the weights, I used fender washersI picked up 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch fender washers. Ended up using the 1 1/2 washers. These have a 5/16 hole in them but the socket head bolt holds them in place really well.I used epoxy to adhere the ferrules to the carbon rod and to adhere the brass flanges to the carbon rod.The dampner is a limb saver deresonator - same thing used on the b-stinger extreme hunter stabilizers. I found these run around 15 to 20 each but I found them at Mills Fleet farm for 8.99 on sale for 6.50 each. I did run across some at Scheels the other day for 11.99.Also used plasti-dip on the weights to coat them incase they were causing a little noise and vibration.I did rough everything up before putting it all together.Note: the brass flange standing up, has the bearing sleeve inside with the threads tapped already.- - - Updated - - -On the deresonator, I went with the one that fits 1/2 to 7/8 - it's a tight fit but does slide on.- - - Updated - - -Before I made the one above, I had bought a 6" bstinger but wasn't satisfied with the results and made some different length extensions out of copper so I could figure out the length I wanted/needed.</blockquote>
