And I already sold the original pb master cylinder and booster, so I can't use or modify my old pushrod. Any ideas where to source the right pushrod, or one that I could modify to work, or what material I could make one out of that will be safe? Sad to say this build is taking so long (2 years...)but life is life...anyway, we aim to have this car ready for test and tune sessions soon. 8131907-javelin22014009.JPG (44 downloads)

I make my own but I cut the hoop off of the original and weld it to a 3/8 dia pushrod with the ball end on it... they are hard enough and have plenty of length.. I usually have a pile of them laying around

I just stick the round end of the push rod in the master and the hoop on the pedal and mark where they would cross.. pull it down, cut and tack it, then check it.. if its right then I weld it up
