Hi John. If you go to Al Briscos website. He has a seperate Carter pro parts list done on excel spread sheet for selling remaining Carter parts from John Fabians stock. Threaded pedal rod sizes might be shown on the parts list, I dont totally remember but its worth a shot.

John, 10-32 is the correct size thread. The ones in your link are aluminum, I wouldn't use those, I'd find some made of steel or stainless steel, they would be much stronger. Another option, you could have a local machinist make some for you.

Thanks for the replies, I do have a set of legs that are 2" longer maybe easier to get some new rods threaded up.... will think on it Smile

Aluminum standoffs work fine. Every lift kit I have seen uses aluminum. There is really no reason to try to find stainless or steel (which would have to be plated or painted, or some other means of preventing rust. Aluminum ones are easier to find at the local hardware stores.

I have the pedal rod extensions in 1" or 2". They are aluminum with steel threaded studs.
