I have a bent push rod in my 1936 Standard Cabriolet. It 13 5/16" long. I can't find one anywhere. Anyone have a suggestion on where to get a replacement? Note, I have straightened it as best I can. I couldn't identify any obvious issues, causing it to bend. Anyone have any thoughts on whether or not just straightening it will work?
If you have the stock valve springs, straightening should work OK. Egge used to sell reproductions. It might be worth giving them a call.

Thanks for the response.
@david-collings I have straightened several push rods from early 6 cylinders (29-32) over the years when a valve stuck closed. After loosening the valve and straightening the push rod, have not had any problems until the valve stuck again. I roll them on a piece of 2x4 to verify they are straight or very close before adjusting. Once the valves no longer stick the push rods quit bending.

That would be great. How much do you want? Also, I’ll take 2 or 3 if you have enough. It’d be good to have spares.
@david-collings David, sorry I did not see your post earlier. I'll see how many I have. Email me at ml.russell1936@gmail.com or call/text to 573 864 6539.
