69 master cylinder plunger rod

Where can I find a adjustable plunger rod for a 69 master cylinder? I got mine old one off and the reason I didn't have any free play in my pedal was that the PO had welded a broke rod...


So I'm needing a new one.

 

Did you try putting an ad the Classifieds? That's what it's there for

 

No I thought that someone may know where I could find a new one from one of our suppliers. Just a stock push rod would be fine, it doesn't have to be adjustable, but would be good..

 

Ok, so did you look in the "Where to buy parts" section at the top of this and the other forums? There is a pretty extensive list of suppliers there.....

 

I had a 79 jeep that I replaced with a fiberglass body, which meant that the plunger rod was too short. I sawed the plunger rod in half, and threaded each side (since the rod was 3/8 in, I threaded the rod to 3/8-18, and use a long threaded coupling from Home Depot (used to couple threaded rod together, you can find it in the hardware department with the threaded rod). This gave me a way to adjust the rod to the necessary length for the thicker body.

You could do the same with your rod, only you will need to remove a 1/4" or so.

Once you get the correct length, you can either tack weld or hammer jam or lock nut the assembly. A new rod is simpler if you can find one.

Is your master cylinder a dual reservoir with the bolts going sideways through the bowl?

 

US: PM me with your address and I will drop one in the mail to you.

 

PM sent..Thanks

 

Ye-up, did that,

I've been to most all of our suppliers web site, the only ones I've seen only comes with the master cylinder itself, I haven't seen one being sold alone. I thought someone could save me some time, but it seems no one knows where to find them.

I'll use a used stock one...chainsawguy

 

I made my own. I'll try find a picture. I will be going out to my barn to plow tomorrow, if I remember I'll snap a pic then.

 

Glad you found a used one. Remember, just because something isn't listed on their web site doesn't mean they don't carry it. Sometimes an e-mail or phone call is necessary.

 

Thanks, that would be great!!
