Need to couple control rods in restricted area of a sub, not enough space to access the connections to secure to the WTC which needs to be removeable.

Can you not use "snake links", used these on my Type V11, very good as well. nemesis

[old_gunner]

Many thanks to our allies across the pond for their information, great connectors however with postage its rather expensive at $58.00 for three magnetic connectors. The snake connectors will not work as the whole stern section is removeable to access the WTC.

It shouldn't be too hard to make your own, neodymium magnets are easy to obtain and are quite cheap nowadays. A length of plastic rod drilled and threaded for your push rod and the other end drilled to fit the magnet which can be glued in place.
https://e-magnetsuk.com/neodymium_magnets/products/rod_magnets.aspx  is one source of magnets i9n the UK. You may prefer to go to e-bay and buy from China.

Magnets sourced, plastic tube on its way so a big Barvo Zulu to Jim G, not quite sure why I did not think of the soloution myself, I put it down to age.
So thanks to all Mayhemers for your assistance.
