I have a few spares, but I was collecting them as I could find them as a replacement set for my own as mine were a bit worn when I rebuilt my engine and was told to look for some new ones because they will need replacing at some point. With that said I am currently looking for a new source for us and waiting to here back from a couple places. The only other alternative may be to send off one of these known good samples to a place in the good ole US of A and have a run made. I'll let you know as soon as I hear something more concrete on this matter.

Sounds we are looking for the same thing. I just got of the phone with the folks at Smiths Custom Pushrods in Redmond, OR https://www.pushrods.net/. Super nice and very helpful. He assured me that he could reproduce the 60 Patrol pushrods without much difficulty. He thinks they have made some 60 Patrol rods in the past. He thought at most they would be 12.00 per rod which seems very reasonable. He just needs one of my straight ones to copy. I plan to send him a rod tomorrow and get a full set of 12 made. stay tuned...

Re: Push rods?
I have a brand new one I could send him that isn't worn any at all if you think that would be better?poinrobe wrote:jwgreen wrote:Pinrobe,poinrobe wrote:still praying! come on someone out there must have a few to spare....
