Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help with a measurement.
I've got to make a new blend door rod same as the image below... does anyone know the length of this thing between the red arrows? There is nothing available here in the land of Oz.

Just a suggestion, but a repurposed bicycle spoke should do the job

Hi Altransit... bloody good idea I never thought of that, thanks - you wouldn't happen to know the length of the rod... from bend to bend?

Sorry, but no

A bit of trial and error may be required unless an expert pops up

Trial and error it is then... thanks again
