63-67 Door Lock Knob Rod

[Walter R.]

I lost the door lock knob rod and purchased a new one. The supplier parts are always pretty accurate. The replacement rod I received is about 3/4" too long and the end with the 90 deg. turn is not in the correct.orientation. This could easily be fixed by putting in a vise and turning but the rod would need to be cut and welded/brazed back together which also could be done. Has anyone run into this and have a suggestion?
