I was unable to mount the compressor to the 3/4" tubing like Ben did because I was retrofitting the unit into a built car. I ran a HUGE amount of wiring around that tube, and mounting it directly there wasn't an option (plus moving it over gives you some extra room if you ever decide to go with 4 into 4's)
I went back with the same # of spacers I had before (2). It only took about 15 min. with a hack saw, then side grinder to shorten and shape the mustang pushrod. The groove on the end is definitely not needeed, and held the old neoprene retainer in place. If you grind yours with a rough side grinder like I did, I would recommend some smooth sanding and a dollop of grease on the tip to prevent any binding in the MC.
Sorry, but I don't have any measurements of the cut pushrod. You didn't mention whether you were upgrading, or doing a 1st-time install... If you are upgrading, just measure the distance from the old Mustang MC mounting flange to the end of the pre-cut pushrod (with pushrod inserted into MC). That is the distance you want to duplicate with the GN MC and cut-pushrod.
I hope this made sense...
