I am looking for a set of the longer postwar truss rods, looking for the the ladies because they are longer. Need them to be 22" to center of axle measured in a straight line from the end. I need them for my build off bike as the ones I mocked up in my build thread are too short to permanently mount. I have a set of Columbia rods that I can make work but I would prefer to stick with Schwinn style bends on this build. If I don't find what I need I will have to fabricate some or use the Columbia ones I have. Let me know what you have. Crusty is OK. Here's a pic of the style. Thanks

I am learning that the prewar truss rods are the most likely to be longer because of different head tube lengths.
On postwar Schwinn's the ladies middleweights are typically 1/2 longer.

To clarify, I just need them to be between 21.75- 22" to center of axle measured in a straight line from the end of the truss rod, not the bracket.

I am getting a set from a guy on the Cabe that are 21.6, but I am not sure if they are close enough, so I am still on the hunt.
