Foot brake push rod

#1
I need a rear foot brake push rod like this one only shorter. Its for a Toyoco Beta 400 and i picked up this Honda one but its way too long. The one i need is about 13 inches. I dont see how this one can be shortened without welding. Want one with its spring, cleavis and so forth on it.

You could just cut the rod at the clevis end to the length you need, thread it and use a nut to hold it onto the clevis.

I'll look at what I have downstairs in the morning. I think what I have was hacked and tacked. Owen's right, a tap and die set won't set you back too much and it oughta be a must have in the tool box.
