B20 rods 120-130

B18 rods are thinner in the area between rod bolt head & the beam.
B20 rods are the best ones to use, don't polish them unless you are going to get them shot peened. B18 & B20 rods are forged & heat treated(better than shot peening), the flat pad with the little round dent on the side of the beam is where they have been hardness tested after heat treatment.

The B21 style rods you find in the late B20's are pretty much junk, they weigh a tonne & are weaker.

Cheers,
Paul.
