am working on the brakes this weekend and it seems i havent got hardly anything for my weekend work lol.

Has anyone got the push rods for the sierra master cylinder....

The master cylinder is the standard one for the drum rear brakes.....

cheers in advance.

I had to make one fore mine as the standard one is too short (if I remember correctly) I cut the head off a long M8 bolt and filed the end to a curve. and sanded to make it smooth.

I;m about to do my hydraulic clutch on the ZZR14 and using some M8 threaded rod rounded as austin man said with a clevis from rally design will do the job

top tip put the bolt in a Pillar drill if you have one if not mount an electric one in a vice and apply the file to the bolt while it turns this is much quicker and gives a more even finish

Good tip
i've never thought about mountin the drill in the vice ( don't have a piller drill) simple but effective

emery cloth and oil is best to finish it of to a mirror like finish and it needs to be nice and rounded to reduce wear
