opensol Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 OK, so I'm a new member of the "I Shot My Chrono" club. Luckily I hit one of the rear diffuser rods. Where can I buy just the rods? I've been searching but no luck. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Looks like a welding rod might work. At least it did on my chrono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open1215 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I have the same one. I just hammered it flat as best as I could. I talked w midway and they didn't offer "just rods" surprised no one I know of offers a rod kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckols Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Building Insulators for stick built homes sometimes used a 16" heavy gauge wire support that they bend and stick into a truss on each side to hold up a rolled out blanket of fiber glass insulation. I have a package of Simpson "Insulation Supports" that is almost MT as I use it for all sorts of things.. U might be able to get it at a Home Depot etc. They will work fine as they are stiff and can be cut with a pair of cutting pliers. O/W a stout piece of wire cut from a fence could offer you an alternative. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Straight piece of #9 clothes line wire would probably work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDA Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Do what i did, call Battenfeld and tell them, they will send you a free replacement (I offered to pay). Doesn't get too much better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtp Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Call them or go to HD or Lowes and get a wood dowel - it'll shatter, without the chance of cracking the chrono case in the event you or a friend does it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opensol Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 OK, so I call Battenfeld and order 4 rods, $1.25 each. Not a bad deal. I got them and I used today. Thanks for all your suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
