Title: Bushing spacers for LT77 remote
Post by: relative4 on March 19, 2017, 11:22:09 PM
I'm replacing my LT77, and when swapping the gearshift remote from the old gearbox, I found that the bushings that mount the remote to the gearbox were toast, and that three of the four spacers for them were missing.  The one spacer I have is one of the front/upper ones.  I can get bushings from Moss, and I can match the upper/front spacer at the hardware store, but can anyone tell me the length of the lower/rear spacer?  Or a domestic source would be great too.  Thanks!

Todd's recommendation is probably best.

Thanks for the links.  Those are for the bushings, which as I said I can get from Moss (or, obviously, a variety of other sources).  What I lack are the metal spacers that go inside the bushings.  Does anyone have dimensions for those?  In particular, the rear/lower ones for the bolts that point inward toward each other, not the front/upper ones for the bolts that point toward the engine.  Thanks!

Measured up a pair of each.  Got .525" and .530" on the lower shorter ones.  Got .850" and .860" on the longer upper ones. Let me know if you need ID and OD.
