WTB: short Master Cylinder piston rod for 68- and some other misc stuff

[merbesfield]

Missing a few parts to finish my dual MC conversion on my 66.

Needed:
901.423.057.04 shorter MC piston rod (1)
914.355.661.00 female to female brake line coupler (1)

Also looking for:

902.635.115.20 horn brackets with screws, nuts and washers (4) These are the S clamps that affix to the J tubes allowing the horns to be mounted to the car.

Hi Mark, I realize this may sound obvious but I just cut the piston rod from my single circuit master cylinder.

I did read that somewhere so that is definitely the easy way to go. Does anyone have the dimension? I am sure I can find it with a search on Google bc we all know the registry search does not work too well. Any help would be appreciated.

Have have the shorter rods and correct part into which it threads. The difference in length is 18mm on the rods. If you shorten the threaded end you will not have much thread left. Have you switched the housing to the later type that has the bracket for the brake light switch ?
I restore pedal sets and have complete finished sets if you are interested.

I am getting the short part vs making my own, but seems like you could just shorten the tip and grind a new point. Please explain the need for the brake light switch. Thanks, Mark

My understanding is the the single circuit master cylinders had the brake light switch on the master cylinder. The later dual circuit cylinders had the switch mounted on the housing. And the switch is different.
Also note that the later rod has a washer that activate the brake switch.
I wonder how ibmiked handled this ?20130907_182333.jpg

When I converted my 67 to the dual circuit M/C I added a banjo connection to the line at the M/C and then I could continue to use the original pressure switch.
