Hi Guys

My 74 has a brake rod that is seriously bent, non repairable.
I have posted in the parts wanted section.

Does anyone know if the Z1 brake rod will work on a 74 H1? I can find the Z1 rods but does anyone know the overall length of a Z1 rod.

A '72 H2 brake rod measures 20" overall, if that is any help, (don't know on Z1).

I don't think the rod length changed, they just put a bend in it, because it sat higher - the brake cam ARM was longer, of course!

Be aware, he is looking for H1 not H2. I have a 74 H1 and will measure when I get home if no answer before then...
I may even have a spare I can send you. ;)

Yes, just thinking the H2 rod might be adaptable, (similar w/base), not much of a late H1 guy! :think:

My undamaged H1-E rear brake rod measures 21 1/8" from center of pin to end. I realize the question is "how long is the Z1 rod" but I said I would measure it... 8-) I didn't find a spare but that doesn't mean I don't have one. ;)
