Default Non-adjustable brake rods

The non-adjustable brake rods must be non-existant...been looking for some for 3 months now.

Anyone have any that are decent?

Thanks.

I would bet there are a few in concrete used as rebar. I have used damaged rods just for that. There are also a couple of bent wheels with tires used for fill somewhere on my place. Got 1 T block retaining a flower bed. Things get used up or recycled, especially Ford parts.

They are quite easy to fabricate from 4130 bar stock and some clevis's. Weld everytheing up solid and grind off the weld. Can't tell them from new.
