I just redid my SS car this weekend. I ordered the brake rod kit from JerryBickel.com and used the correct rod end for my application. Do it right the first time.

Ken,has it been determined what caused the problem with the brakes in the accident?
My understanding is firewall flex when holding down the pedal on the starting line can be the culprit.Hope your recovery is coming along well.

I never got to see the car but I am pretty sure the rod came out and wedged on the floorboard. I tend to be heavy footed on the starting line. Probably had 1500# when I lifted which allowed the pedal to spring back. When I hit the pedal at the finish it didnt budge. My recovery is coming along. No more headaches but my foot is still messed up. Probably will be for life.
