Default Comparing manual brake pushrods 65& 67 for MC swaps

Here are some pictures for you guys I had asked awhile back. When converting to a dual reservoir MC the 65 pushrod retainer is thick and clips into the back of the MC. The 67 MC does not have enough room. It uses a "cage" that goes over the MC register and is sandwiched between the MC and the firewall.

67 on top, 65 on the bottom.

Got a Part Number for that "CAGE" Skip? I don't have a recent Ames catalog. I do not think that I have one installed on my 68 Corvette master cylinder on my 64 GTO.

I have an old reman 65 single MC that came with the rod since it is held in with the C clip, not sure if new ones come with it. You can see the 65 rods has more threads than the 67 rod.
