John, I know the linkage is Bubbafied and plan on straightening that out and getting back to factory if I can find or make the parts. I can't be sure but do not think the linkage is causing the issue. it's hosed up but does appear to be functioning. Locating a correct Z bar is likely going to be the biggest problem. frown


I don't know what what or why they had to butcher up the original Z bar. But that part currently does not appear to be available so far. frown I need to do a deeper search but so far no luck everywhere I've looked and brewer's is out of stock. Any suggestions are welcome wink

my next choices are:
1. Find a correct used one which I'm not sure how one identifies what is correct shruggy
2. Possibly find someone that has one out of the car that can take measurements of the Arms from the center of the tube to the center of the pin. I can then see what is in the assortment of parts as well as the one in the car. With the measurements I can likely make one of the three work.

Unfortunately what appears to be the original has had one of the two arms whacked off. THANKS BUBBA spank

I would obviously trust one from Brewers but not sure who else one could trust from a repro standpoint. Which member was the Dart specialist parts guy? DBartman or Rhinodart?
Thanks again beer


Rhinodart .

I have an extra Z bar I got from TTI I think it was for use with headers, it has an extra bend to get the lower arm to clear header collectors better .

The 2 brackets with the ball studs on them , on the car and in the pile of parts look like the correct parts, use the pile of parts spacer.

The bracket on the car appears to have an extra gusset added , the one behind the ballstud , not sure that thick a bracket is going to bend over that short a distance even hammering a very heavy clutch.

Obviously the lower adjusting rods are some Rube Goldberg pieces ...


running up my post count some more .
