Thank you Steve and Norm
Both parts have now arrived. I very much appreciate it.
The engine these will ultimately be used on is a 1098 that will be installed in my 61 van if I ever get it completed (!)
The engine still needs to come apart as it had dismal oil pressure.
It came in my Woody and still had an ADO16 rad on it....(tight!)
Anyone have an abutment bracket available?

Due to weather in Texas ( DHL phone center located in Huston ) I ended up at the shop open to close two days last week. I must be there to sign for packages and he didn't show till almost 5 on friday. I will get to post office today. Steve (CTR)
I have made up a set of tools for rebushing the rod change housing. The shift eye once again is not cheap. I have thought about bushing the housing on hand and offering them exchange. Would be cheaper than shipping the whole unit. Some units come with a plastic bush and once that is worn out the housing bore starts to go out of round. I ream to a common size press bushing in and ream in line. Quite often the shaft needs to be flipped end for end or replaced due to wear and rust. I need to order a length of cold roll or drill rod and make up shafts. Guess what some are a different length.
Edit: I have also done a few of the conversions, I set the shift eye up in the lathe bore it out to accept a spherical bearing. Then press the ball off the shifter itself. The ball is held in place by a few raised grooves pressed into the shifter shaft. These must be polished off so the shaft will pass though the bearing.

I thought I had already sold everything I had, but found these two hiding in amongst other things...
Steering column drop bracket ($9), new, in original box.

Rod Change shift assembly, used, worn, included with $50 of new bushings I'd bought from Grainger in an experiment to figure out how to re-bush the housing. If anyone would like to work with this, I am letting it go for $150 (our host has brand new ones for $400, and used ones from salvage yards go for around $200, so I am really just trying to get rid of this old one from my storage).
