Don, why not a lock nut? You can reach it with a wrench and it should stay in place.

Just my $.02

Magoo,

Yeah, that could work but than it would not be original. Plus when I would go to adjust it I would have a screwdriver in my hand and not the socket, extension and rachet.

Don,

What happened to the old nut? Was it lost or just in bad shape? I would want an original replacement as well if I were in your shoes. I adjusted these a few weeks ago when I was correcting the shift levers for the bearing throwout and braking, and it would be a lot harder to do with a regular nut. Plus the special nut "locks" in place every 45 degrees which I don't see how you could do with a regular nut.

If it makes you feel any better I just spent $95 on the piece that connects the muffler to the manifold and the butterfly on the muffler.

Tim,
If you can take them back, I have those pieces for about $30.

Lavoy,

ouch! that hurts.

I think I'll keep them this time since I am in a hurry to get it out working. I'll check with you on the next parts for sure though. The past parts I have checked with you on weren't available so I was just thinking I had to go with the dealer.

I got my seat fixed at the local machine shop with some angle like you suggested (well, in place of the C channel). Double ouch. They must have spent 4 hours on it with the bill I got for that one. I'm learning how to weld, put it off for far too long...

They did ask me why those deluxe seats are so damn heavy

Tim,
Some stuff I don't have, but might know where to get it cheaper, just let me know.

Tim,

I had a diff oil seal leak onto left steering brake band. So when I wanted to turn left I had to pull real hard and it eventually broke the T bolt for the brake band. Last year (yes, its been apart that long due to too much travel for my job) when I pulled the final it was in the bottom of the housing so I set it aside but now I cannot find it.
