clutch push rods

Post by Gary66 »

Right guys having noticed i am possibly short of at least one clutch push rod and possibly both :-/ i decided to see how much and where to get them from.
Well one of them is nearly £17 (gulp) and the other just over a fiver (ok)

I then did an ebay search and noticed someone had put down the size on there listing, 8mm x 123 and 8mm x 194
So being a tight tw4t i have searched out 8mm stainless bar and found it to be rather a lot cheaper!!!!!

Is there any pit falls here i should be wary of or is it as i see it, a total waste of my money on something that only pushes the clutch out?
Surely stainless would be a better option? If not just mild steel bar?

Any input appreciated ;)

brilliant idea!
you should have no problems at all
I used some mild steel bar in mine for many years.

I would suggest 'rounding' the ends a bit rather than dead flat.
