Richard,how much of a bend? I believe there should be a slight bend or two to clear the engine and bell housing. Pics?

I think straight. Only because continually flexing makes no sense.
See the thread "control rods"

Richard, if it is the same as the Aust one, and I assume it would be similar, then it should have 2 bends in it from the bellhouse lever to the bulk head and a straight section to the pedal.

You guys have forced me to look more carefully, and the parts book backs up what you say.

Charlie, as the owner of many carriers, can you confirm that they have 2 bends, how far from each end, and what the angles are? (we are talking about CTL 7111)
On another note, when I was at Colins he had a clutch arm (TL 2731 ) it took the standard pin to locate it, but was also clamped tight with a pinch bolt. I hadn't seen one like that before. Are they common?

standard pins and cotters on mine ( I think ).......

If all goes according to plan , I'll be pushing and pulling things about this afternoon and will look then. Maybe even make a photographic rendering.

I'd do a charcoal sketch but it's hard to mail a cave wall.
