I tack welded the heads of two screws together to create that threaded rod, and only after I had the mounts all brazed up did I realize what I had done. I thought I might be able to break the weld, but alas I had actually done a good job at something for once. After swearing at it for a minute also didn't work, I ended up cutting it with an angle grinder.

Ha!, I've done several things like this. Recently I was bending a fork blade after brazing on the dropout and ended up bending it the wrong direction. Stuff happens and you have to laugh about it.
