MK Dual Elavator Bellcrank & Pushrod?

[Brian Billings]

Gray, how would you set them up without a sleeve? I like this setup and a better way to install it would be great. Can you elaborate on your statement. Thanks

  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.
