*The way Sonor lugs of this era are designed make threading the tension rods into the lugs a little tricky. The lugs have a loose hex nut inside only held in place by a piece of felt. Sometimes if the tension rod does not perfectly line up with the nut it won't thread in easily. This is just an inherent quirk of Sonor Teardrop era parts.
