    I found this on a Cobra forum. The Shelby Cobra not the Mustang Cobra. Does anyone have any idea of where I can get a master cylinder push rod that looks like this?

    That is a push rod for the master cylinder. It connects to your brake peddle & the rod goes into the brake master cylinder.

    I'd be willing to guess that it's something that you could make with a bit of ingenuity.

    I believe he's trying to cram a (power?) master cylinder, a cable-operated clutch (T5) and a header all under a standard non-power brake shock tower support.

    And last I saw, it looked like he just might get it done...

    That looks like that same style push rod used on 1967-1969 Cougar and Mustang.

    This is a 1968 booster assembly.
