[NSRCA-discussion] Titanium vs steel...

[Steve Hannah]

I tried using titanium threaded rod on my 40% 260. I think it was  
8-32. I found it to be stiffer than the steel rod. I had to remove  
them because they kept breaking. The titanium didn't hold up under all  
the constant vibration. I would imagine it would do ok in an electric  
application

As for it being flexible, did you compare it to the same size steel  
rod?  In short lengths it should be stiff enough.
