COnversion from single to dual master cylinder. Wrong rod. What to do?

[gregp1962]

I'm converting my 1965 single master cylinder to a dual master cylinder. The single cylinder has a slightly longer rod that needs to be kept when converting to a dual. I already turned in the core from my single along with the rod that went with it. Now, I have the new rod that came with the new dual master cylinder. I can't find the rod for sale anywhere.

Has anyone had this dilema? What do I do?

Cut the rod, thread it, and install a threaded sleeve coupler. Really really cheap way to make your own adjustable rod.

As described above.

Proper adjustable rods are available at popular Mustang parts vendors or on eBay.
