I have this ebay bellcrank setup as well. I had to thread my rod further down and cut about an inch off as it did not collapse enough to hook up properly.
In nightsticks pic above is the brass bushing supposed to be on the bottom or top? I had mine in the top like he has pictured but I'm finding as the brakes are engaged the pedal rod wants to push the bushing up and out. I've seen 1 other pic on here with it in the bottom. Seems like that might be my fix.
My bushing was a bit worn after only a couple hundred miles from being on the top and getting pushed up. Went to the parts store and of course got the wrong size bushing so i'lll have to go back and test it out.
Anyways, top or bottom for that brass bushing?
You mean the bushing that's on the pivot arm? I have a brass bushing on the top and bottom. Had to grind the arm down a little to get it to pivot freely.
