Most all pedal rods are 3/16. I have seen a very few that were 11/64,but only once or twice. Most all Sho Bud pull rods are .109 or 7/64. Martin.

If your undercarriage is built with the 5/16" hex cross shafts, then your pedal rods will be Ø.106-.109" with a #10-32 rolled thread. That is the configuration that Sho~Bud went to when they introduced the diecast components. The top of the rod will also have an "apron" bend to keep it from possibly rubbing the inside of the front apron.

If it has round cross shafts and 2 hole pulls, then the pedal rod will be a straight Ø.187" rod with a cut #10-32 thread.

Hope this helps.

I make pedal rods from the nearest metric equivalent, which is 5 mm. It is a little fatter than 3/16" but will take a #10 x 32 thread once you get it started.
