Ford cmp clutch question

[Phil Waterman]

Hi

I've found these threaded clevis ends at the local tractor dealer, the older the better. Don't remember the thread count 1/4 X 24 sticks in my head. Easy to make up what ever length you need two clevis ends, two lock nuts, and length of shaft.

Cheers Phil

1/4. ...... 20 tpi........Or. 1/4 ....28 tpi for the fine thread

I also believe that a tube would be stronger than a solid rod.

Cheers

Based on the 8mm given by others above, I believe the rod and yokes are threaded 5/16-24 (fine thread).

Hi Grant,

Just checked my rod. That is correct. Threads are 5/16-24 UNF

Cheers,

Hi Phil. I intend to do so. I have got the rods and the clevis ends which are available at Macs and also the Chev parts suppliers. So, I have the parts to make something that works........however, the original is a rod with clevis as one part....and a seperate nut and clevis at the other end. The clevis that is part of the rod is shorter than the seperate clevis at the other end. So, i was interested to see if the rod-clevis part was an off-the shelve item available at one of the parts suppliers......just to get that bit more originality that the Pebble beach judges love....
