OK ... so let me get this straight ...
You're rewrapping a rod. You run out of thread. You check for more. No longer available except with exorbitant shipping charges. Got it. BUT ... are you RE-WRAPPING it in 257 Rust or are you still looking for the Gudebrod 5274? I'd be happy to look through my stash of threads IF you're still looking for the original thread. Hesitant to go down to the building area, as I can only get in trouble there ....
