I have a 1929 I will try to find which parts manual I have that showed the length of the brake rod's you also might be able to find the information on this link http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/

I have a 1929 4 door, but my car is not with my currently so can NOT measure what i have on hand.

Also looked through my Repair Manual Chevrolet 1929 & Instr Oper & Care 1929 International AC Nothing on lengths

Pete, you're a good man to do that for Alfredo..........

All the Best, Chip

Pete, you are awesome.
Your pitcures are outstanding and they are perfect for my work.
I would like to ask you one last effort.
Can You tell me the size (length)of the:
1) lever idler which is located between the rear brake tie rods (your pitcures 2 and 3)
2) lever idler which is located between the front brake tie rods (your pitcure 4)
I hope you understand what I wrote ( my English is dramatic, I'm better with the Italian)
Thank you again and ... Saluti dall'Italia

I'm sorry, a last question.
The black numbers that I see on the tape measure, they are centimeters or inchs?
Buona giornata, Alfredo

The black numbers are in inches. red numbers are in centimeters

Sorry I don't have a metric tape measure. All dimensions black and red are inches and fractions. The smallest lines are 1/16".
To convert Inch X 25.4 = Millimeters.
The small idler is 4 5/8" approximately 117.5 mm.
The longer one is about 7 3/4" or about 197 mm.
Let me know if I can help.
Pete

Pete, you helped me a lot.
If I have other questions, I'll ask more help.
