I think we've been down this road before. It  appears that someone 
made a mistake in the dimension, at least for the  tandem MCs. I've 
never seen a published number that agreed with the  untampered late 
pushrods that I've measured.  

The number I've  recorded for my own use is 152-153 mm.




I just pulled those numbers out of the blue Bentley. It's actually the  
starting point for adjustments that the factory made to each car to allow for  
manufacturing tolerances. It's measurement is from the tip to the center of 
the  hole (to attach the brake pedal). You still have to keep the 1mm 
clearance of  the rod to cylinder.
