Z-Bar Modification
The z-bar needed modified as the rod to the clutch fork didn’t reach and the z-bar itself was a very, very tight fit. The z-bar was cut in half and about 1/16 – 1/8 of an inch removed. Then we fabricated a sleeve using some pvc pipe and some masking tape. This allowed us to put the 2 pieces together and keep them lined up while we twisted the halves of the z-bar into the best position. After we got it lined up, we marked it, tacked it with the welder and then ran a nice solid bead around the whole thing. The weld was ground down, then the z-bar was primed and painted, then cleared.
