What adjustable brake push rods will work on a 1994 pedal box? I had one on order for way to long and they dont seem to be coming through anytime soon. Not looking to offend anyone just need to keep build moving.

I used the Whitby one but I bought it from Breeze. Breeze doesn't list them anymore, I just checked. Call Whitby directly and they may be able to help you.

Good Luck

I had the same problem and got the run around for almost a month. They would send it every time I called and over and over it never showed up. Maybe ill get flamed but i was not treated right as a customer and clearly im not the only one.

Whitby again can not answer when theirs will be ready to ship. I would really like to be able to button up the brakes

Those are too long as is. I suppose you could shorten them, but you'd probably be better off making your own at that point.

I had a similar experience with that vendor awhile back when I attempted to order a full width roll bar. After year of their excuses, I gave up...

Just make one out of a long bolt. Not a big deal. Less than an hour, for about $1.

Thanks to Amazon i found a part that worked almost perfect.

Just needed to grind the flat end next to the pedal eyelet down to adjust the actuation of the brake light switch. Need to call a vendor and cancel my order from 2 months ago.

I made a similar one - adjustable and locks

I'm building an MK4 but using a fox pedal box, fox brake booster and the spacer between the booster and the pedal box. The booster has the stock brake push rod. Will the stock one work ok or should I go this route and make an adjustable one? Thanks in advance.

NO!!! I wasted a bunch of time not listening to others. Spend the 40 dollars and never look back. Trust me

Tod are you building with power brakes? If you are, then I think the stock push rod is the only option.

Yes Norm, I am running power brakes - fox booster.

Jsf74 - were you running power brakes as well (Booster)?
