Faucet pop up actuator rod- too short
I Have a new granite bath vanity top, with a drop in sink – wide spread faucets are behind the drop in sink.
The sink drain pop-up actuator rod (horizontal one) that has the white ball on it is too short to reach back to where the faucet rod goes up and down.
Anyone seen longer ones for sale?
any honeboy cures?

There are strap type clamps that can be bent to form an offset.
I recently installed a sink like this where the drain was 9 or 10" horizontally from the control rod. I extended the drain rod with a piece of brass square tubing that fit snugly over the drain assembly rod. Works, but the problem is that, with that much offset, the drain popup hardly moves at all.
I'm gonna redo it by fabricating a longer, offset extension on the control rod.
One of these days.
Maybe. ;-)

You can just extend the rod with another and a second spring clamp, if you can find one. Cut the knob off it.
Often you'll have the old faucet to rob from.
