[DeTomaso] Slippery Slope: Shift Linkage U-Joints, Replacementsd

[adin at frontier.net]

Steve,

OK, a joint with ends attached.

If you have measurements, call Borgeson www.borgeson.com  they have an  
online catalog.

I talked to a rep at a hot rod show - he indicated they would make up  
any joint if given dimensions. but you know how those weasels can be.   
At any rate, they may have the "joint" separately.

I DO know that the product rec'd was vastly better than the speedway item.

You might also try aircraft spruce and mcmaster carr ?????????

Keep notes and/or let us know.
