My Power Disk Brakes are frustrating me...

Now that I made the bolt fit by drilling it out. The damn thing is to long. Measures 7 1/2 long, tip too tip. Making brake pedal up to my knees. It needs be 5 inches long. And there's no way to make it shorter. Waiste of 45 bucks. Going to junk yard to find a original rod.

I wish I had measured mine for you. Although, I keep reading other post that a manual rod is about 6 1/2 inches (6.5 inches).
