There was at one time a double threaded rod that came with little nuts. I
have exactly one that came with an early Pneumatic Digger (it was used to
firmly hold the Digger to it's tracks by bolting the two together!) but I
have used it in other projects for exactly the sort of thing you are talking
about.
I have no idea where you would get one now.
Cheers
Tim

Subject: Worm Drive Question
I am trying to make an Elevator sort of mechanisim using a worm drive.
Currently, I have done a real poor workaround
to what should be simple, if the right part existed.
I have included a picture of what I would really like... "The Ideal Setup".
I have also included a picture of my workaround...
Can anyone Suggest something cleaner?

| The Digger with the nifty screw is set number 8851 from 1984 (wow I feel old) (URL) this part every in another set? it's a fairly general purpose part but I've only got the one. (and 5 nuts) Cheers Tim (...) (26 years ago, 25-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)
