lyman 45 sizer - push out rod

[jmsj]

Hello All,
I took the advise I got here and purchased a lightly used Lyman 45 sizer/luber.
I am still really new to this bullet casting/lubing (have only been tumble lubing). While cleaning out the old lube, I noticed the push out rod was missing.
I have a lathe and want to build the push out rod but don't know the dimensions.
If someone could tell me these dimensions I would be grateful. If I had the dimensions I would be glad to make some for others. jmsj

Are you talking about the knock out rod?

The dimensions are very straightforward.
Total length is 3 inches.
The head is .125 thick and .500" in diameter.
The shank diameter is .250".

Actually a three inch long, hex-headed, quarter inch bolt could do the job with no modification.
