I've just been looking at the Cygnet Pivot Arms and the description on these is that they are suitable for replacing chains. I use a Matrix Multi Block quite a lot which a standard chain thread fits into no problem, but when you look at the opposite end of the Cygnet pivot arm, it looks like a female connection.
I guess my question is, are the Cygnet Pivot Arms supplied with a male thread to screw in to a Matrix Multi Bloc, in the same way that a chain thread would fit to a hockey stick?
Thanks chaps

So just got the 3 Cygnet Pivots, and there's definitely no seperate thread attached in there to allow you to fix one end of the pivot arm to a hockey stick. Theres a 2ba on one end to connect to a bobbin and the other end is a 2ba threaded female connection, what a nightmare.
It's something of a misdescreption for Cygnet to suggest these
as a "replacement" for chains, aleast a set of chains come with a 2ba threaded end that you can physically connect to something.
So now I have to locate a small 2Ba threaded (at both ends) bar to enable the female end pivot to connect to my hockey stick.
Appreciate any help, links, suggestions.

would the century neville ones from the snag ears also work?
Not sure you can get these anymore.

I had the same problem and just bought some 1/2" 2 BA grub screws off Ebay, far cheaper than buying the cygnet ones.

I did say a 2ba male and female. If you don't get the grub screws to convert then change the hockey stick, a lot dearer way of doing it though.

I might have missed something here but Cygnet bobbins heave a female thread and the hockey sticks have a male.... so the arms would surely work as supplied? 🤷♂️
