found a link from 280zx at the junkyard today, but i think they're shorter and the mount is different. i'm gonna see if i can fab something up. but if not i'll probably resort to welding if i can't find any older Zs in junkyards.
thanks for the suggestion! i have no clue how it broke. i just bought the car a month or two ago and that's how i got it. i can't complain tho cos i got 3 motors along with the car. just dropped in the motor a few days ago so i'm just putting everything together. hopefully it'll be running by next week! just ran into a few problems, but it was expected anyways.
the broken end that's supposed to extend is meant to go into a small hole which keeps the whole link from moving around but since it's broken there's no stopping it from moving. i have some ideas of what i can do, but i wanted to hear any suggestions. thanks for anyone's help in advance.
