Maybe it would be better to have a more mechanical conection between the two conrod pieces that silicone tube?
Thanks for your input, Marv.

Maybe I misunderstood you. An LTD Stirling is unlikely to have the power needed to flex a piece of tubing (if that was your intent). The connecting rod needs to have a very low friction connection. Exactly how you establish that is a design detail but it must be as low weight and friction as possible.
