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

Re: Seeking 1915 Rear Radius Rod
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.
