Metering rod tool total length

Post by roblenzz » Mon Mar 12, 2018 2:08 pm

What is the total length of a metering rod tool for a Carter WO? I have an old rod that is good and straight but no metering rod tool and would like to make my own from a full length rod. I have some dial calipers if someone would please tell me how long theirs is. Thanks

I think this site has the dimensions you are looking for:

I hope it lists what you are looking for?
