Anyone have a spare 1915 rear radius rod? The threads on one of the rods on my car are stripped.

Phil, yours is repairable if you want to go down that track. The worn section can be built up with weld, then ground/filed back into round. The good thread on the end gives you a lead-in to then use a die to make a new thread.
I have found 2 or 3 variations in the length of the round section of those rods, so finding a matching one, if that is important to you, may be a little frustrating.
