Drill two 6mm diameter holes; 1 hole spaced 10mm from the end and 1 hole spaced 60mm from the same end. It's better to drill larger diameter holes to give enough tolerance for the rod-bending to come.
Cut the thin aluminum rod to length (ex. 200mm) and bend it to form a C that fits inside the two holes of the larger diameter aluminum rod. Now bend the C slightly outward so that in order to fit it again, you need to bend the C inward each time.
