[WANTED] Adjustable brake cylinder pushrod

[Heywodja]

I have a 72 swinger with a late model aluminum master cylinder…. Does any one have an adjustable pushrod ??

What's the issue you are trying to solve? The newer aluminum master cylinders + the AR Engineering adapter should take the stock length pushrod. This is with manual brakes.

It is with manual brakes… pedal is kind of high..
this is the adapter I have

That looks like a home-made adapter. Check out this one.

Also, measure the length of your existing pushrod and the thickness of the adapter you have.

It was actually a mopar performance piece from the 90’s

My guess is that adapter isn't as thick as the one I linked to. That would push the brake pedal back and make it high. An adjustable pushrod would fix the issue.

You could also add an aluminum shim behind the existing adapter. You could experiment with washers to get the thickness correct. Which ever is most cost effective.(a shim, an adjustable pushrod or a different adapter)

I used this brake rod in my 1965 Dart. Worked well, and was cheap. Not sure if it’d work for you.
