Hey guys... I trying to mount a mc and booster from a mid 80's truck on my 63. I need to lengthen the push rod by 1 1/2". Any suggestions? THx...Kevin

i went down to Lowes, they have some threaded nuts that are long, got the proper thread for the stock end that attaches to the pedal, got some all thread, and 2 backing nuts.....worked like a charm. Kieth

Im not doing this project but would be interested to know what "all thread" is. Sounds handy.

all thread is a long bolt looking rod with no head on it . it is metal rod that is threaded end to end . used a lot with turn buckles and such .

I would guess if you're using all thread, you'd want to use "B7". I'm not sure of the tensile strength but, if using it for brakes, regular lowes all thread may be "understrength'd"(sure, it's a word

)
