Got mine on e-bay. All polished SS with plastic linners. 2 for $10. Were ever you get them they need to be for this application. Some are way to tight for the shift rod. They should be free with .003-.005 shake. Snug and your shift will be like crap. The ebay seller I got mine from sent me a pair of chrome ones that were snug with no play and after trying them realized the shift was terrible. When I ask him about it he sent me the SS ones free of charge. I put a bolt through them and a nut on it and chucked it in my drill press and spun them for about 3-4 minutes at 2000 rpm to get the .003-.005 shake.

Since this thread is over 10 years old, I'm sure the OP has found some replacement heims.

PS: you can turn off 'related threads' in your User Control Panel so that these
ancient threads will not show up.

The post looks like it is from a spambot... bet the mods make it disappear soon.

What surprised me, is that I found some at my 'local' Independent ACE (Elliots) Hardware store...

I suppose you can get them delivered to your door from Amazon these days....

good luck,
