So my grinding off the ball on the end you hoped to make it longer? *smiles* My memory is a bit fuzzy, but my recollection is your problem is from a short rod - right? Because a long rod would prevent bleeding. Maybe you could hire out extending the rod. I know I wouldn't try it with my welding skill and tools! And I don't have a lathe. Hmmm. I don't think the outside diameter is critical - maybe a tube to extend it. An inside diameter to match the outside diameter of the rod, cut the rod, use the tube to span the gap. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
