NAA Radius Rod Cap & Studs

Two0aks · Apr 30, 2018

Bought new Radius Rod Cap. It is 1/4" thicker than original. the two 7/16-14-20 3.56" studs are too short. Any one replace their studs ? If so where did you get them ? Yes, I could buy a pair of die nuts and make my own. Just wondering.

TwoOaks, I can't find radius rod caps in my MPC. Are you talking about drag link ends?

Thanks for the reply Jim

The aftermarket cap will work, but I'll have to make longer studs. Need to find a pair of 7/16 bolts to modify.

Just use bolts.

Thanks TOH

I did in fact use bolts. 4" 7/16-20 and cut the heads off and threaded the other end 7/16-14. It was a chore getting a small die nut to start but I got it done. It was sad to remove the original "Ford Made in U.S.A. cap and replace it with a generic one. Compromises have been made, but not willingly. It may be the case for your upgrade pump too.

TwoOaks, sorry for my misinfo. yesterday. I had to leave to go to my last bowling for the season in just a few minutes, so kind of got in a hurry. Then as I was driving out of the driveway I realized what you were referring to. Glad to see that you got it fixed.
