The Ford Barn

i purchased choke and throttle replacement rods for my 1940 ford sedan deluxe. Prior to installing, i noted the rubber joint on the new choke rod was not at the same distance from the carburetor. Overall the rod was a bit longer as well. the rubber joint of the new rod was at the firewall where as the old rod rubber joint was closer to the carburetor and several inches from the firewall. Where should the rubber joint land between the carburetor and the firewall? what is the purpose of the rubber joint? Can the rubber joint be removed, the rod welded (turned into a rigid rod) and simply bent into position? Many thanks in advance.
