Happy Afloat, It was just a short piece of stainless rod that I had left over in my garage, that happened to be about the right diameter, and it only needed a small piece cut off the end to allow the rest to fit. The tricky part was determining just how long it needed to be. I used a piece of piano wire to mark off the total depth, then subtracted the depth of the push rod already fitted into the end of the brake spinner. It did need some further adjustment so its important that the rod is a fairly sloppy fit as retrieving it back out of the hole would be difficult if it was too snug a fit. You can buy the push rods, but the one I bought was not right, too short, so it went back, and no I don’t t remember where I ordered it from, too long ago ! It was apparently the right size for the job, but as the boat was ex charter, its possiblr that the spinner I had was not the original.
