Frank -
I looked into McMaster-Carr's catalog at http://www.mcmaster.com/ They
show clevis' on page 1047 that should, with a suitable length of
all-thread, fit the brake rod application, and the prices are pretty
good. Moss Europe had an "adjustable" brake rod (no longer stocked) that
was pretty similar for around $80.
