Correct I was looking for steering bellcrank.
My problem is I have NOS M38 bellcrank and I can only find crappy foreign made parts for it. The problem is the 7/8 x 1 1/4 spacer is too short in length
This causes the bellcrank to bind up unless I machine some material from the new bellcrank. Also I would rather have the cotter pin type nut method to secure the nut from backing off.
So what I need is NOS hardware that was correctly made back in the day.
I’ve seen the tapered roller bearing setup and I do believe that is an improvement.
