MP saver mod
alright... the mp saver that is suppose to screw into the drag link along with the stock bell crank using the stock screws, the bell crank goes in fine, and goes under the drag link, where as the new MP saver is suppose to be screwed in above the drag link. Problem is the stock screw does not do the job on the bottom or the top of the drag link. the thicker part of the screw for 1) is to large to fit threw the single hole on the MP saver, and the smaller thread is too small to anchor into the drag link unless the outter hole is used. But even doing it that way the thick part of the screw still doesn't fit into the MP saver.
Anyone that has installed this mod have any ideas?
Thanks

RE: MP saver mod
The mod from what I hear is the best so far, its making sure it is set right from the get go.
That was the reason for the post.
I know I'm not the only one with this mod, so if anyone "Has" this mod, not the kimbrough..
Please contact me asap.
I would like to get it installed this evening.
Thanks again

RE: MP saver mod
I used the inserts from a disc brake kit as a sleeve for the drag link and used some stainless nuts and bolts to attach it all together. The disc brake kits usually come with sleeves for the caliper plates to slide on instead of the stock screws which have the sleeves built in. I just drilled the drag link and pressed the sleeves in and used some stainless nuts and bolts to tie it all together. Give me a few hours, I'll post some pics.

RE: MP saver mod
Thanks for everyones help, I looked at the orginal "How to" thread more closely and figured it out.
Out side of switching the plastic swivil balls in the linkage with metal, its just about done.

RE: MP saver mod
That's interesting. My left side bellcrank has the arm at the same position as the spring loaded right side. Here's my pics anyway. Glad to see you worked it out.
