Do you really believe that threaded rod is the best material for this application?

Bob (Strictlypersonl) is from ERA and has been involved with the design and fabrication of their Cobra replica program from their first car. B7 grade threaded rod is pretty much the same as Grade 8 for practical purposes. Car 164 has been around for quite awhile - hard to know if that rod is original or has been changed out for some inappropriate material or what. From the S-bend in it and color I suspect that is not B7 rod but that's just an opinion.
