I thought of using some 4wheeler tie rod ends, but in my car absolutely no room. I dont think any car would have the room inside the car between the brake lever, and clutch lever.

I think I have like 45 bucks in heim joints is all. I threaded everything myself.

I guess its hard to understand my poor english.
I ment to use the rod ends you have and just fab and weld new exact the same brackets (like twins)at the z bar so you can mount the rod end between them with a bolt to go through first a bracket then the rod end and then another bracket and finaly the nut.
That would make it very strong and it would stop it from wanting to twist the single bracket at the z-bar.

I see now. I accually thought of that too, but would make it very heavy. If i had more time, I would have made the, captured by making the heim sandwiched between another piece, but not go clear to the bottom, just make it big enough to get the heim in there.

Yep. If I was to do this all over again thats what I would do. The piece cut and welded to the arm dosnt even have to be as heavy as the other side, just there for aditional support, and a way to eliminate having a jam nut, or a big heavy washer.

Here ya go Matt. Found it and reposted it for ya. Maybee they can put this in the tech section so it dosnt get burried.

After driving the car, the only thing I did different was ise longer bolts, and use locktight on them, The jam nuts accually came loose, and I lost pedal once.

But overall its smooth as silk.

Thanks Kasey, your the man!

I have never been a fan of the way the factory did these linkages, just seems so bloody sloppy. Im definitely going to be removing it and using some heim ends.

I wonder, has anybody ever actually replaced the arms going off the tubes of the z-bar as well? It seems like Gus mentioned something about it in the second post, but pics are always a bonus

Here is the new one with male heims going into 3/8 ID bushing stock seamless pipe.




Did you have any fitment issues with the pedal to Z rod?
I just looked at mine and it is not just a straight rod.
It has some offset at one end.
Or did you use some spacer at that end?
