Focus rods are LONGER than Mondeo ones.

The Focus pistons have the pin at a different height to the mondeo ones, so overall, Focus Pistons + Focus Rods = Same Length as Mondeo pistons and Mondeo Rods.

f you mix Focus and Mondeo parts, you'll get a different length, so keep them matched.

But, focus rods are definatly longer than the mondeo ones! If it wasn't xmas, BigWig could take a pic of Mondeo vs Focus rods he has in work
