Replacement Kickdown Rod Snap-in Bushing Kit-NEW!

$27.00

These bushings were designed and machined by yours truly to be easily installed by the purchaser in his own garage or auto shop. They are made from the same material that I make the permanently installed bushings on the new rods that I make.....Delrin. I've also provided a simple, plastic stand-off bushing to assist in installing the new bushings into the rod ends. The new bushings can be tapped into position against a hard surface with a soft-faced hammer or pressed into place in a vice or light arbor press.

Installation instructions will be sent with each kit order for your convenience. Once the bushing is snapped into place, it is IN THERE! On my trial installation in my shop, I had to destroy the bushing to get it out of the rod!

The hole in the rod ends must be drilled or reamed out to .375" (3/8") and the flatted side (side it's being installed from) chamfered to assist the installation of the new bushing. The proper fitment and retaining of the bushing depends on this hole being THE CORRECT SIZE. The side opposite the flatted, installation side should have a square hole edge to allow the bushing to grab the rod tab firmly to prevent pullout.

There is a view of a rod end prepared for this shown above in the pictures. After installation of the bushing, the 1/4" hole must be carefully reamed out to .250" to assure it will fit on the lever pin on the carb and on the transmission lever.

The kit includes 2 snap-in bushings and the back-up, installation bushing as shown in picture above and 2 "E" clips.
