Reproduction Bell Crank (Z-bar)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Now reproducing the '67-'68-'69 Bell Crank, both inner & outer Pivot Ball Studs and the Inner Mounting bracket that bolts to the bell-housing. I copied the original parts that amxmachine kindly lent me for examples.

I still have to reproduce the attachment arms (pedal to Z-bar/Z-bar to throw-out fork) but I just wanted to give the folks on this Forum a heads-up that everything will eventually be offered.
However the parts that are pictured here, are available as a package (as shown in the photo). The price for this package is $ 125.00 US + shipping.
There is a grease fitting installed, as per the original. 
You must supply your own interior bushings and retaining clips. I believe most, if not all, of the Big Box parts sellers have those items in stock. 
Pivot Ball studs have the correct flat, machined on 1 side, to fit the "D" shaped hole on the inner and outer mounting points.

Also working on the '70-up Bell Crank for "big body" cars....soon to be offered to the AMC fraternity.
 I'll post a photo once completed......should be by the end of this week at the latest.

Thanks for any interest.

Ron

	[QUOTE=azfletch]Ron, Are you able to make these for the Small Body Americans, for SC/Rambler and Rogue? I Know of 6-8 people that need them for their restorations. Mark I'd have to have access to an existing, unmodified set of OEM Bell Crank components in order to know the dimensions, specific shape of the arms, all that stuff. I have to reverse-engineer from existing parts because there's no AMC Blueprints available to refer to. Would the same Bell Crank and the related parts apply to all 3 cars as mentioned above? Ron

	Ron, Not disparaging their memory in the least, you are stepping up with parts that only AMXMGS used to provide. Looking forward to more from you.
