I watch a similar video and they used washers under the screw heads to prevent projecting into the bushing.
I wondered too if permanent Loktite could have been used. Or dimple the steel tube.
Nice clear video on your work.👍
Hey Kyle, this is Kyle we met at the Woodward Dream Cruise. Great video! I like how you are finding the right parts to make everything working the way it was ment too. It will work much better in the long run.
Cheers!
A bronze bushing to guide a shift rod that really doesn't see much heat. I'd epoxy the bushings in with JB Weld. I doubt they will go anywhere especially if you file a few notches or turn a grove into the outside surface of the bushing to give the epoxy something to bite into . If it ever fails, then maybe consider set screws.
I've seen a lot of those pinch welds bent and crunched. Best to use a 2x4 piece of wood between the jack and the pinchweld. That keeps it from bending and crunching the pinchweld. That old grease was a spray-on lithium grease. Did you lube the main shaft? Especially in the bronze bearing area?
Where are all the parts list?
What I do after the the threads are tapped is shorten the screws. Works great.
May I have the parts list, I didn't see it in the description below?
I need it also. Where did you get the bronze bushing?
I need the same thing, a parts list.
Clark's Corvair has all the parts except the billet coupler.
How has that billet coupler held up? American pi isn't making them anymore, so I'll probably use a steering yoke from a 92-2000 Civic.
Hi! Really great video, I'll do that soon to my 66.
Also, could you post the parts list? That would be nice!
Has the parts list ever been published? Especially the billet knuckle.
Hey, is that a Gilera in the background?
Can you make a video just like this one but for automatic transmissions?
What red grease did you use?
You didn't change that rubber accordion piece., Wouldn't it be good to do that while it's apart?
I had three of those cars in the late 70s and 80s and believe it or not i got rid of them all cause they all caught fire
Wow....
That's what happens when you neglect car maintenance.
Air cooled engines run hotter. Unfortunately, rubber fuel lines were often, unwittingly added to the engine bays to splice in an inline gas filter. That's one sure way to increase the risk of fire. Also, be mindful of your vehicle's maintenance. If there are any unusual smells, like say, gasoline, repair the issue immediately.
Hagerty, please do better at reviewing your videos. If you say you will include links to parts you’ve used, then do it. Still no parts list as you mention in the video
