Warning
I don't know the length of the rod Arie but I had a friend that made new rods for his carrier using metric material as imperial was no longer available. The metric rod was undersize. As a result the thread was not full depth and a rod end pulled off when steering was applied. When that happens you not only lose steering to that side of the vehicle, the action of the equaliser linkage ensures that you have no brake pedal function at all. The pedal just goes to the floor as the linkage pulls the failed rod.
It is absolutely critical that you get this right as if one rod end fails the only braking you have is steering input to the other side so long as it doesn't fail also. David

Just a shade over 84-3/4" long. I was going to say 85 or so, but decided to go to the one I have on the floor now and remove the end linkage to get you a more exact measurement.
When you get your brake gauges to do the adjustment, you'll realize that you have a little wiggle room to these, as the ends are threaded for about 1-3/4 length. Plenty of imperial rod here in Canada. I know I would have more problem finding metric. |

I expect Lynn is about to log on, it being Saturday morning there and Friday evening here... perhaps he will say this information is in the control rods thread?
See: http://mapleleafup.net/forums/showpo...65&postcount=1 84-3/4" = 2152.65mm. Close enough to 2153mm __________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ Quote:

His measurement of 2153 mm works out to 84.76378 inches when I do the conversion on google. So when I said a shade over 84-3/4, I sure wasn't out by much.
Shame all of Lynns measurements are in some cryptic measurement system rather than good old inches and fractions. |

Ah, but what side of the road do they drive on? I read they can privately own firearms too? How novel. UPDATE: how time changes things... Last edited by Michael R.; 24-05-20 at 20:32. |

Rob, I have to ask "At which point did decimal points get introduced into "good old fractions"?"
If you're pretending to be a purist you'll have to try harder
