Went to the local hardware store and bought a piece of 1/2 in steel rod and machined and drilled it to fit the the wheel and spoke adjuster. Trued up the wheel myself. The hard part was making the fittment by hand with a hand held grinder for the curvature in the wheel. This is a critical area since this is where the real load is carried by the spoke. There is a better discription over on my FB page
