HELP MGB Folks/Shops: I need a measurement of the length of the brake master cylinder push rod from the center of the clevis pin hole to the push rod end. This is for the dual master cylinder/non-servo type (1968-1972 in US). I need to install a generic adjustable push rod and do not have the original to measure. (unless I take my other MGB brakes apart)

I've never measured them. I just adjust them in-situ to give a slight amount of free clearance with the brake pedal released.
