- '79 CJ5, 258 I6, T150 w/Dana20, Dana30 front and AMC20 rear. My first Jeep! I'm looking forward to doing some minor upgrades and restoration while enjoying the ride.
Has anyone ever made a clutch rod with heim joints on the ends to replace the one that goes from the pedal under the dash to the bell crank at the frame?
Mine is so worn down after 40 years that it's almost worn through the bell crank mount. I'm going to talk to my machinist in the next couple weeks when I can get some time and see if he can thread the ends of my existing rod to fit heim joints on the ends so there's no more wear on it.
Just curious if anyone has done this or seen it done before and might know some do's and don'ts.
Thanks
