I need the left hand threaded Heim joint, with threaded stud. M6x1.0

It looks like this….

midwestcontrols is out of stock. Is anyone holding?

thanks guys. for some reason they weren't coming up in any of my google searches, maybe because the way they have their part descriptions.

thanks again for your help.

It looks like they only have the metric one in "Heavy Duty", not a huge problem.

I buy from who supplies them with their rod ends.

Check them out, they may have just what you need.

It's QA1 Precision Products (QA1.net)

They are cheaper through them as well, especially in bulk.

i just went out into the garage and took some measurements…

It doesn't look like i have the space for a heim joint at the front of the shift linkage. Would it be bad to run a clevis up front and a heim joint at the pedal?

You could cut it shorter, and rethread.

But no, shouldn't be a problem to do it the way you mentioned either.

the only way I could get it to work, is to cut the threaded stud down to about 1/4 inch, and tap the shift arm. I don't think there's enough meat on that bone to handle the pressure.

I'm going to go with the clevis upfront. Atleast I won't have to bend the shift rod like the stock part, since i have the heim at the back.
