Default Re: I saved a few more

Next up are my brake rods.
Most of my coupe's brake rods needed some kind of work. Some were bent pretty bad. Some had worn areas. The return springs had "eaten" away the metal, and the clevis pins had the holes worn oversize. I welded-up the low spots. Also used a copper rod to fill the holes so the weld wouldn't stick. I installed steel bushings in some of the more severely worn holes.
Follow the pictures. They show the before and after.
I tried to keep as many of the original characteristics as I could.
