Sorry to resurrect the thread Lynn... The lengths quoted, is that minus the clevis pieces, ie it's the length of the actual rod rather than the assembly ?

Just getting ready to make up the front to rear brake rods, thinking about material, I cut the remains of one with ease using a blunt hacksaw today, my thoughts are if the brake works by being pulled on by the rod rather than pushed, then mild steel might be ok to use as it should be ok in tension.... Different gravy if they are pushed on though.
