Well here's my next /6 conversion problem - my shift linkage hits the headers. After some research I can A) buy a new bar B) weld a new tube to mostly straighten it out and cut the bend off C) cut the ends off and rotate them so the bend faces the ground.
If I weld a new tube in (before cutting off the bend) - does it matter where I attach it to the existing tube? Will it rotate fine as long as the ends are not moved? Or should I just have one of the guys on the forum that convert these do it for me? A new bar is expensive and cutting the ends off makes me afraid if they are off just by a degree of ruining my shift rod. |

I just used a length of 2x4 and made blocks to hold the two ends in place and at the right length, then simply cut the bent section out and replaced it with a straight piece of tubing. Put a couple of tack welds to hold things in place, then installed and tried it out. Once I knew I could get all the gears, I threw on a few more welds for good measure.
