has anyone made a clutch for adjusting rod?

Dave not a bad idea I may try that I will try to post some pics of what happened , OK one photo shows another short rod I have on now but it won't work as there is not enough adjustment then there is one photo showing where my rod broke and I'm holding it up to show that it's right at the fork and the other photo shows how I was thinking of fixing it with a barrel but except the nut will be where the fork is so not sure if it will work I won't try until tomorrow night.
