removing the zbar

alright i'll just need the top part of your list then. it's everything from the end of the rod that comes out the firewall (zbar attach point) on down. i just need the clutch fork swivel btw but I know which one that is.

 

Melvin's has 2 different versions, one with the threaded hole and one without.......

D1DZ-7A528-E w/o threaded hole
D1DZ-7A528-T threaded hole

both are same price at $14.95
Melvin's great people to deal with, good luck!

I used the threaded idler swivel along with jam nuts

 

so did i.

while sorting out my clutch issues, though i found some message board postings adressing this point. they claimed to use the un-threaded swivel with two jam nuts one one side (towards the fork). reason stated was that the clutch rod would be able to move and swift a little and would be subject to failure otherwise.
in the ford master parts catalog, the drawing is a little unprecise in this area, so i can't quite make it out...

 

I guess you can call it a little insurance policy because locking jam nuts do wear out the more you turn them. More threads more the merrier

 

rthomas you welded up the whole hole right and not just the half that was worn?

 

weld it up completely, otherwise you wouldn't be able to drill the new hole precisely enough.

 

Tody is correct...I welded the whole hole. I used a cereal box to trace a template to know where to re-drill.

 

I'm going to wait till I get the bushing in so I know the size.
