Hi Joseph, It seems to me that you have enough left to fashion a full length Navy rod. Navy rods are 207mm from tip to butt (or from stem to stern as they say in the Navy). The threaded portion including the 9mm ferule at the tip is 62mm. I'm enclosing the Navy rod blueprint for the early brass zig-zag version, but the dimensions are the same as for the later steel version.
Regards, Norm
