column shift linkage bushings
Does anyone know where to get the "nylon" bushings that were used in the column shift linkages. In particular I am looking for the ones where the links hook to the transmission shift levers. I have checked LMC and Macs and not seen any. I also tried the various auto parts stores in my area with no luck.
Thanks
Ryan

If the holes are elongated in the trans levers, you can use: 2-C0AZ-7526-A~These have a shoulder on them, are used for clutch rod bushings on various model cars & trucks. Here's what you do: Stick them into the elongated holes in the trans shift levers, then take a butter knife or similar, heat the knife, then press it against the non shouldered end of the bushings, flattening them out. Install the rods from the steering column to trans levers, add the spring and flat washer and cotter key.

Col. Flashman, I had almost forgotten about JohnsF100...although I checked his online setup and cant find what I am looking for. I should have clarified a little on the tranny..it appears to be an aftermarket (PO) column shift to floor shift 3 speed manual in my '60. I checked at the auto parts store and they will sell me a new kit w/hardware for $55, but not just hardware. The shifter I have works well, although the bushings are really worn.
Numberdude, thanks for the "cooterbobbin" trick...I may resort to that soon...a quick question: Where can you order parts with the numbers you give?? just curious really!
Thanks again,
Ryan

Some of the parts numbers I list are available from Ford, some from our FTE sponsors (Dennis Carpenter, NPD, etc), and some can be crossed over by Napa and other auto parts stores to their parts numbers. Some are not available through normal channels, but might be found in Hemmings, Cars & Parts, local swap meets, and Ford Obsolete stores. Numbers are valuable whether the part is available or not. Knowing what part number the grille you need is, will save you from the idiots who may list a grille..saying "it fits all."
