Default Re: brake question

I recently compared the repro operating pins to the ones I took out of my '30 Tudor. The domed ends were oversize as Pat mentioned, but the rods were clearly longer. The ones I removed from the car were almost 1/16" short of 7 1/4". The repros were almost 7 5/16" long. [I don't know whether the ones I removed were original or repros; I'd bet on the latter.] I asked the supplier about the repros - they were intended to compensate for wear in other parts. I ended up using the old ones with a pill to take up the slack.
