    L-Body shift linkage rebuild kits and services. Anyone interested?

    I'm getting ready to rebuild the shifter linkage on my GLHS and thought that there may be some interest out there in being able to buy all the parts needed in DIY kit with easy to follow instructions.
    I would also offer the service to restore, machine and rebuild your linkage for you.
    I'm working on putting together prices. Right now I'm looking to see if I should invest in a vendor subscription here or not.
    The kits would include quick disconnects, a spherical rod end and oil lite bushings.
    Here's a link to the details:

    I plan on setting mine up like Jon did his. I'll probably do it myself though. If you found a killer deal on the parts or bought in bulk and could pass along some of the savings I would buy from you.

    Didn't another vendor just start to offer rebuild kits for the linkage, or already does? If not go for it, there seems to be a demand for it.

    Kits would cost $65 plus shipping.
    The kits would include:
    4 3/8 Quick Disconnects
    4 Grade 8 Nylock nuts
    9 Grade 8 washers
    4 3/8 Jam Nuts
    1 M10x1.5 Spherical Rod End and 2 Hardened Conical Self Aligning Washers
    1 Grade 8.8 M10x1.5 bolt, Nylock nut and plain jam nut for the Spherical Rod End
    6 Oil Lite Bushings. Machined to fit the existing pivot bores.
    Installation instructions

    For $135 plus shipping I'll install the kit on the linkage you send in.
    Here's what you get:
    Removal of all the old piviots and bushings.
    Repair, weld and machine as needed.
    Shorten and thread the shift rods.
    Weld the rear piviot rod.
    Sandblast and repaint all the old parts.
    Install new parts and reassemble.

    Id pony up for you to do all the work on my SC's shift rods! Ive been meaning to do this myself anyways, but time and motivation seem to be hard to come by nowadays!

    Just to clarify the 4 - 3/8" quick disconnects also include the ball ends?

    Those are good rates for both the kit and the full service. I just did a linkage build a few months ago and although it wasn't hard, it chewed up time I really would have rather saved for other parts of my build.
