long brake rods made
after sourcing dimensions from a couple of friends regarding the long brake rods that go nearly the length of the hull, I manufactured these rods.
They are: 7/16" diameter 2510mm long the flat surface (for the rod return spring) of the welded olive is 131-132mm from the rod end. the olive has an ID of 7/16" and a OD of 3/4", it is machined so that a clip or tie wire holds the leather or rubber boot in place. See pics. I have the olives being machined and they should be ready in a week. These rods are now painted green along with some other items, so next weekend they should be fitted. Saturday night my family and several other BGC owners in Albury Wodonga got together at a local pub and held a BGC owners meeting. Managed to spend about 4 hours chatting about all things BGC related. Very good night and of those that attended, they represented 6 projects and 4 donor vehicles. With the good weather I got talked into doing some gardening. So to make my job easier, I decided to get the Chev out to assist in tree pulling. Unfortunately with the water logged ground the Chev rear end bogged down in the lawn. I was able to engage 4WD and with the front of the truck being on firm ground, crawled out and parked it back in the workshop.  Later there will be some more gardening to fill in the two trenches in the lawn.

Hi Darrin, The best I can find is a Lockheed part number, #260 It is for a 1 1/4" Master cylinder Bedford J1, J2, Should be same for a Dodge WC (WWII 4x4, T214 ) Go to an old brake specialist. They should have old PBR catalogues etc. with pictures.
These used to be very common. Let us know how you get on. Good luck!
