Here is a photo tour of the LMC Heim Joint linkage that we installed. Some more tweaking to do but in conjunction with a new pusher nut for the fork, a slop free, noise free set up.
Inside, under the dash, the working end of the down rod that goes thru the new boot in the floor to one end of the z bar.
And down underneath, you note the bottom of the down rod where the heim nut contacts the frame....we'll adjust rods or clearance the frame later, for now we have excellent clutch action.
Also note the Peterbuilt return spring, think we're gonna swap for something a bit lighter, save some wear and tear on my knee joint in traffic.
There is about 1.5" clearance between the heim joint and the exhaust, plenty of room.
And finally, the clutch rod and the new pusher nut on the outer engagement of the clutch fork. All 4 joints are adjustable for length. Should be no reason you can't get a good clutch set up with this and I spect it'll remain bullet proof and tight for many long years.
Please also note, the z bar is completely rebuilt with new balls, seats, felts, retainers, and a big dollop of grease in, out and around.
