List Addicts,
Not an original idea, but this is my version of the slot cure. The rods are covered with a 2 1/2" length of vinyl tubing to smooth the threads. The holes are slightly oversize to prevent binding. The outer piece is shimmed, and then bowed in just enough to keep the slider from rattling. The slider is allowed plenty of lateral clearance so it can move as needed. No cost, very little weight, about 2 hours from beard stroking time to completion, and not made in China.

I wrapped sheet aluminum from a beer can around the threads of my steering
rods to smooth them out. Others filled in the threads with JB Weld.

I replaced the stock steering rods with steel rod from the local hardware
store. I threaded the ends as required, but the section that passes thru
the firewall slots remains smooth.
