nope, just shopped for a rod that was straight.
I have recently aquired two more rods, I am thinking about cleaning one up on a machine to make it fit event better, just shave the rod and make a new bushing to match. The problem I found even more severe was the firewall bushing (thats what started my obsession) the bushing alone has a very sloppy fit in the firewall, then the rod is also sloppy.. the rivets are just big old rivets close to 5/32 I tried bolts, but was to hard to get that to work without modifying the tunnel. the cup bushing (the one on the end) was also very loose in the hole that it is in, plus loose on the ball itself.. That on took some thought, but I just made it longer, eliminated the snap ring function (basically because I could come up with a good way to make it) , and I let the ball slided up and down inside the bushing versus letting the bushing slide up and down in the hole.. What can I say, it works for me. rich |
