Strange B3360 Master Cylinder Push Rod
I recently purchased a Strange B3360 Master Cylinder Kit to "retrofit" into my 1970 Olds 442 Drag Car. I am replacing the OEM Cast Iron Manual Disc Brake Master Cylinder. I am finding that the "Push Rod" supplied in the Kit from Strange is approx. 1" - 2" too short. Strange does not offer any optional Push Rods and I can't find anyone in the Parts aftermarket that can tell me which Push Rod to use.
I've seen all kinds of basic "fixes" on the internet in chat rooms, etc., saying to simply.... "Cut" a grade 8 bolt to length and "grind off" the end to a ball".....or just "use some 3/8-24 all-thread rod," etc..... I know you guys in this forum are true, serious Racers that know your stuff and I am afraid of simply "grinding off a bolt" or doing a "cheesy" fix to the issue and want to do this the right way...mainly for safety reasons. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Harold |
