MK Dual Elavator Bellcrank & Pushrod?

[Gray E Fowler]

Speaking of the CF push rod set ups, I would like to share a little info. 
I just finished installing my second CF. elev. pushrod assem. in a Impact, 
the first was in my Majestic. In the Majestic I got the DEPS setup from 
CST seen here http://www.cstsales.com/CCPush-rodKits.htm
This kit comes with a thin walled Teflon outer case and even with a slight 
bow or arc in the assem. the system remains Very friction free.
For the Impact I purchased the kit from Central and it comes with plastic 
outer cases and these were difficult to get smooth and friction free, the 
slightest bend or arc made the movement very stiff and as a matter of 
fact, I could not even use them and ended up using hollow CF. rod for the 
outer case which worked very well but slight bends or arcs are out of the 
question. Just my personal experience, yours may differ.

I never understood why they supply a sleeve.  Makes no sense when using a 
CF rod. Teflon is also heavy, and bonds very poorly, if at all.
