I have a 1975 Vulcan foosball table with 5/8" rods. So I've read the Tornado Men will fit the rods since they are 5/8". If that is the case couldn't I just use the nut and bolt and secure the men to the rods that way instead of the pin. I am going to check existing length of original men to make sure they won't run into each other. Any thoughts.

I've tried Tornado men on 5/8 rod... too tight. Returned men before I broke one trying to install. Tornado rods are 0.620, most would think that .005" wouldn't make that much of a difference but I had clamps pulling the guys and lube on the rod and I felt like a break was imminent. Also made a sleeve to go over the rod so I could use a mallet and pound them on... not worth it. Fireball guys however are 5/8" but not as inexpensive or as available.
