A few issues here , after the bushing disintegrated I ordered new stuff, a new firewall bushing from RIX914PARTS and other goodies from 914rubber.com, and a new brass bushing for the coupling, however I can’t get the pin out, and I’m going to mess up the pin end and it’s not going to slide thru if I do that- so I’m going to have to find a press I guess somewhere?
1. Should it be that tight ? 2. Is this a normal weld end? Attached thumbnail(s)

2. Normal
The coupler is not that strong. It's better to support the rod. I like to use a long socket under the pin - basically hammer or press the pin into the socket. |

I do see that George at AA and Sierra Madre have new couplers if I damage mine but let’s try not to do that- AND you guys are right, on my other thread I posted the demise of the coupler bushing, someone noted the firewall bushing looked like there was some space and indeed there is some play so I called Rick earlier in the week and have brand new one of his firewall bushings. I know Chris Foley makes great stuff but for now I am staying closer to stock. If I were autox this car I would do his whole system, but for now I think this will all be fine. |
