Thanks Mike for the reply,

I have a 6.5" X 14" b/o late 70's that I rescued from a South Texas Tejano Band. It was being used as a timbale and it actually sounded pretty good. It has the Imperial lugs and the b/o badge although it's in bad shape. Not a COB but should make a good player. The 10 rods that were with it were several different sizes and types. I figured I'd just replace all 20 with the correct size.

Whatever that is.

Thanks again, Andy

ive got a late 70's 402. i just pulled a tension rod off to check for you.

from the lip that sits on the hoop to the end of the rod is 2.5"

overall length is 3"

there is 3/4" from the lip to the point where the threads begin

hope this helps..
