    I am in search of the correct bushing for a factory Buick adjustment rod. Plus as you can see by the picture the swivel adjuster is about to give way. I believe the Buick swivel is a bit beefier than the ones they reproduce and sell on ebay.

    Anyone have one for sale.

    Dan,

    I believe I have an extra bushing. If so, I'll bring it on Saturday to auction.

    Is there any reason you cannot drill out the trunion and use 2 jam nuts to make the adjustment? That was you can use a grade 8 threaded rod screwed into the heim end

    Here is a corvette bushing that you can get from your local GM dealer. It fits perfectly into the z-bar and into the clutch adjuster. Looks identical to the original. You will need to make the center steel sleeve narrower by grinding it as it is a bit long. Pre-fit it onto the clutch rod and or the clutch fork before installing it.
