This is the custom linkage on my build Ultra, yes, with heim joints....



Yep and if your Bruse Willis or Samual L Jackson it somewhat works .....any other way it's just crude / rude / and down right wrong. But I'm sure that's the look you were after.

Don't think your snarky response will be seen by LoneBone as he is currently in banned camp.

Some do not get sarcasm but that is just the way it is.

Im sorry I just had to ask? Two grown men laying down in a parking lot to install two wire ties to the shift linkage?

I think this maybe have been staged. I would think this is a little too embarrassing for more guys?

Three handed job. Unless you know how to deploy a zip tie with one hand.

…and the third hand to hold the linkage together whilst zipping the tie.

What wasn't revealed about that repair was the ingenious use of a beer can. Cut into small strips and fitted onto the spline, it created a perfect compression seal.

There were 2 repairs. The linkage and zip tie, the next day the shifter arm spline repair.

Linkage replacement in the parking lot at Bakersfield ,CA HD. They played Twister in the hotel parking lot in Nevada for the spline/shifter arm.
