Like the title says I need a conversion bushing for my 72 when I convert to a sideshift trans.
The last one I bought was probably 30 years ago. I have checked the normal places but didn't see any listings. Thanks Jim |

QUOTE(914forme @ Dec 26 2018, 10:23 AM)  Tangerine 1000% and installation is really easy Did you do a side shift transaxle conversion, or was your car late to begin with?I installed Chris' spherical bearing in the 'BB', but there were special circumstances in my case. Even though it was a '75, a PO had installed all the workings for a tail shift transaxle. I had to drill out 26 rivets that secured the shift rod mechanism's console to the firewall (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-7300-1389499985.jpg) Once the console was removed, the circular reinforcement for a regular bushing was gone (a ragged hole was all that remained), so I had to fab a small plate and screw it to the firewall. Even so, I had to bore a large hole in the plate and machine a 3/8" step in the bearing's outer housing, and recess it to allow full shift rod travel to catch all gears. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-7300-1330035415.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-7300-1329959539.jpg) How many folks have installed one of Chris' spherical bearings in early cars when doing a side shift conversion? |
