Believe me Lee, i don't think you can be overkill in this area. However i had the stop and a bracket to keep the rod in but my rod came off the pedal end, it was held in place with a 7/16 bolt and a nylon lock nut which was installed in 98, so apparently over the years of use, the nut backed off, at a very dangerous time! Believe me, my next one will not come off like that one did!
