Re: Anyone tried the LMC "rod end linkage kit"?

I notice I need a longer bolt and a washer on the pedal linkage there, so it doesn't contact the locking nuts! yikes!

I'll get a pic of the zbar to clutch fork rod up there too..

I've managed to adjust it so when my sm420 stick is in N, and engine on, I feel no play in the pedal linkage at all... which is a huge improvement.

I've gotta do a search on how to properly adjust lower zbar to clutch fork linkage for proper throwout bearing setting...

My worry is I've cobbled it together by eyeballing the lengths of the stock rods I had already installed, but how I get the various parts to stay in their adjusted position, and not rattle themselves free...

there's only so many lock nuts in the kit (which are reverse thread? possibly metric? = impossible to find?) and the kit came with an extra heim and rod... perhaps I'll post a pic of the instruction sheet for y'alls expert help!
