Looked at Les's page and see there are two rods, one
6 1/2 one 7 inch in length. This reminds me of the
stub axle thread. Mine is a '74, came with the 7 inch
type, not plugs. However, now I realize maybe it did
originally as the swinging arm bushes were the later
short type but with a short piece of bush added to
make up the space where the felts would be.
I ordered new rod and ends. Ill report when they
arrive and I have at it.
