having an issue with aligning the brake rods with alignment tool, it's like the center rods going back to the rear adjustable rods are short. does anyone have measurements on the lengths of each rod for a 29 2dr. coach

Hi Don

The information you want is somewhere on this page of the 1929-41 Master Parts book:

https://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/parts/1929_41/41cp112.html

I'm just not sure which rods are which.  🙂

Look at all the rods listed as fitting the AC, and maybe you can figure out which one are which based on the measurements given.

Hope that helps!

On my 29 Cabriolet, going front to back, the first rod is about 19 1/2 between centers of the pin eye. The rod from there to the rear brake is adjustable and mine are about 25 1/2 between the eyes. Measuring just the rod without the adjustable yoke it is 24 1/2. 

All measurements are approximate with a steel tape.
