What did you do to replace the bushing?? I would like to improve this spot too.

Good work BTW !!

I have 2 cables from Woody and some heim joints on the way to see how hard it would be to replace the cable ends and eliminate some slop as well is the flex that is occurring with the plastic/rubber ends.

EDIT:

Look what showed up in the mail this morning.

These are 6mm Stainless Steel Heim joints with bronze inserts and a grease fitting (small brass bump on the side) too keep them smooth. I can now begin the cutting and threading now that the Box is out of the shop and on it's way to live in VA with my daughter. I have pushed a new project into the shop tho, I'm addicted to cars and will always have 3-4 projects ongoing....

My car interests know no bounds!!!
