MK Dual Elavator Bellcrank & Pushrod?

[Scott Smith]

I'm experiencing the same thing the Central kit.  The slightest <as in
barely visible> bend will bind the rods.  The Teflon from CST works much
better.  Wrapping the Teflon with a piece of masking tape where ever you
need to glue it works very well.

I was thinking of "lubricating" the rods with some graphite powder when I do
the final assembly as I'm somewhat committed at this point.

  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.
