71 A230 into 65 Dart z bar/linkage

This was off of my '79 Volare F Body






I have been to this rodeo before...
Reset the tube/lever arm to the pedal shaft arm, reweld, grind, and reinforce with additional tubular metal on the Frame pivot side.

I just happened to have some scrap tube that the ID of the tube is exactly the same as the OD of the Z Bar / Torque shaft. I have had this same exact failure on 3 mopars of various vintages...
- '64 Dart
- '62 Valaint
- '79 Volare




I also have used thicker tube diameters from say B/E Bodies that I bought cheap from the swap meet and remade my own levers / z bars for various clutch forks for header clearance etc.


Here is another writeup I did on the subject
