1933 rear brake rod
 

The passenger side rear brake rod broke on my 1933 chassis and got bent up pretty badly.

Any ideas on where I can find another one?

Thanks!

Ha, just a pair of NOS ones. I saw someone asking $75 a pair in the classifieds though.

Brad, three places you may find one, Mike Driskell (Tenn) 615 293 9985....Bob Jones @ Dennis Carpenter 704 786 8139 (ask for Bob) he is only there 8to2 Monday to Thurs. Southside Obsolete (Fred) 507 332 6789. If all else fails you could make one up from new rod. Ken

Thanks Ken!


I have thought about just making one. It shouldn't be hard, but I thought maybe somebody here might have some laying around after a conversion to Hydraulic or something.

I tried Mac VP and he said he doesn't think they are manufactured by anyone these days.

You might measure the length of yours and place a wanted ad. I don't know if there are any upset places on the rods for anti rattlers but you need to check that out. If you get an original rod with an eye on one end they are easy to shorten and rethread. If you try to shorten a reproduction rod be warned that the rod diameter may be a smaller diameter intended for rolled threads.

I placed an ad in the wanted forum. Got one hit but it turned out that the guy had the front ones and not the ones for the back. Granted I didn't add the measurements.

The end to end with the Clevis' attached is 62.5".

Thanks for the advice Charlie.

Maybe try Richard Lacy at the EV8Garage. He replaces mechanical brakes with hydraulics. He MAY have some "take-offs". DD
