55.2-59 brake pedal travel

It looks like I have a deep bore with a short pushrod. I have mechanical brakes. I wonder why they gave me the wrong pushrod. I bought everything from them. I cant find the pushrod adaptor on their site . Do you have a part #

Finding just pushrods is not easy. and when you get boosters they often do not come with them because the theory is you use the one you are replacing.
If they gave you the wrong one in a KIT then I would work with the vendor to get it corrected.

Since I was a budget build and cobbled parts together for one of my truck.
I just went to pull a part yard. found a booster with longer rod. Just took the rod for I think a dollar.

Then just ground the end to the exact length I wanted.
I did it on the bench with small adjustments each time till i got it where it was spot on for my master and booster. Then smoothed the end to almost a polish. rounded just like the rod that was missing.

ah you have no booster. I was thinking internal push rod not external.


do a search for universal adjustable pushrods there are a few out there that will work for your application and allow you to make adjustments as needed.

here is what I mean if you get that threaded size off your existing you can find ones that match that you can cut to fit or maybe get lucky with exact size

Thanks that will work. All I really need is a piece of threaded rod I'm wondering why the didnt provide the correct pushrod when I bought everything. I cant be the only person who this has happened to
