Re: WTB Truss rods.
I had the same problem. Spoke to someone, (don’t remember whether Lang’s or Snyder’s), checked length of what they had - may have been for a year earlier than 15. Sorry to be so vague, but I don’t remember, it was a while back.
Bottom line is that I got what they had, there was only about 1/2” difference in length. The rod didn’t pass the nut when installed, but on well enough not to cause an issue - especially with lock tite.
I was prepared to attempt to make a set but the rod is an odd size and I was fairly certain I wouldn’t get the bends exactly correct.
For whatever it’s worth… Hope it helps.
