Lutz, if you scroll down this page and then go to this one, in the same lengthy thread, there are some photos showing a method of using clear monofilament fishing line as truss rods.
The material is easy to use, and with the Tichy turnbuckles, the clear material allows a see-through effect. I added the spacers, shown atop the car's floor, and not cemented in-place, just in case I ever need to add a thicker piece if the truss rods beging to sag, but even after several years, there is no sag in them at all. A reel of the fishing line will do hundreds of cars, and is not very expensive.
