Just so I understand correctly, by beefing up the stress/break point on the rod by encasing it in a longer heavy walled nut is that intended to strengthen the break/stress point?
If indeed this is the intention would not that stress be passed on to the next weakest point in the "link" and cause potential fracturing or over-stress that point as well?
