Custom Strut Rods

Has anyone built there own adjustable strut rods? I want a set but can't fork out $200. Let's see what you guys have done. Thanks

I made these along with tie rod sleeve's several years ago, I made one end identical to Hotchkiss and a spare end like CAP (QA1 Now). I had about $125.00 in both. I had a set of Hotchkiss to use for a sample.
