And the alignment at half-lift looks good.

I spent more time today in pushrod hell. See my new thread for that, and my questions.

After I gave up on pushrods for today, I refined my rocker offset and spacers.

Did you get the pushrod tube spacers? I assume you need them since you are measuring for rods.

Not sure what those are--can you elaborate?

Still playing with rocker arms and pushrods. I tried using stock rods with washers acting as spacers under the shaft supports.

I took a break from pushrods today, and opened the latest package I got from the powder coat shop.

Seat bottom frames!

I had them coat everything, including the rails. Before, the fit with the sliders was a little sloppy, so I figured the coating would fill the gaps.

But the coating was a bit too thick, so I sanded each rail until the slider moved easily.

Then it was time to install the tilt control levers. Rebuild kit from 914Rubber, with inner and outer bushings, and new split pins (more about those in a minute).

Easy to get to this point, with all the parts in place, including the spring. But how to twist the spring AND insert the split pin?

I was able to use an awl to push the spring and align it with the hole. But then I can't insert the pin.

So how about a piece of 1" aluminum bar, to prop the end of the spring? OK...

And then, while holding my breath, remove the awl and insert the spilt pin. But the new ones are a bit too large in diameter. While trying to tap and then bang it in, the aluminum prop popped out, the spring un-sprung, and the pin went flying, and is now AWOL in my garage.

Instead, I used the original pins, that still fit tight but I was able to insert with moderate tapping.

Last piece: the knob for the tilt lever.
