Brake Booster Rod Extention Options?
Just installing the Tough Stuff 2121NB Brake booster/Master combo and all working well, except - The threaded rod from the Booster is about an inch too short.
How have you all addressed this? I have the original clevis, which treads on, but the rod is just not long enough.
Options?
1971 C3

The 2129NB is a 9" and mine is a 7"
From the looks of photos, the rods are the same length.
I ended up getting a section of 3/8" 24 bolt and will use a coupling nut to extend the rod about 1.5", which should give me enough to work with.
It's too bad the specs on these parts are not dialed in. I ordered this from JEGS and they did the best they could, but these issues should be addressed.
I'll post a "how to" video of the installation process once I have more details documented.
Thanks for the help.

you have the wrong booster, return it to jegs, you will be fighting this the whole way. Thats a universal booster and its designed to use brackets on the back.....
