Hi all....
In desperate need of simple but hard to find parts.....
I have a 1982 AMC Spirit, 6 cylinder, manual trans, with ac....
and if it helps I think this is basically a jeep engine and frame with a different body dropped on the top of it....
Anyway, according to my factory manual.....there is an assembly called the "bellcrank"...
it is a rod that is supported on one end by the frame/body of the car and on the other end by the engine/trans.....
the rod is supported by spherical metal balls on each end of the rod....the spherical ends sit/rotate in plastic (nylon?) bushings that in turn are held in metal tubes/brackets.....
the spheres on the end of rod have a diameter of .62 inches.....the plastic bushing the spherical rod ends sit in are .75 inch outside diameter and .75 inches long....
so i need 2 of these....."inner idler bellcrank bushing and outer idler bellcrank bushing"......
for reference...the bellcrank assembly is what converts clutch pedal movement to the lever that sticks outa the transmissions that engages the clutch pressure plate release mechanism....
anybody have a good source for this kinda part or a good amc/jeep website/chatroom.....or how i can rig something at home that will work from locally obtainable parts, maybe even rigged from local hardware store parts?
or perhaps another name for these parts that will improve my internet searching?
thanks a million!
Bill
