Peter the front has a bend. Look under one of your other busses and if you have a Wolfsburg West catalog they have a rather good drawing. I don't think you could bend one of those out of normal shape under anything less than a major accident as long it is mounted in the bus.

I?ve not seen any in a Bus that look quite like this before. --------------------------------- From: tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of sammie smith Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 10:06 PM To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: Front Shift Rod? Don't have one, but how can the shift rod itself be bad. Sure it's not the bushing? Peter Albarian <pcalbar@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hey TCBers, Kirk and I realized last night that the flip-seat shift rods are in very poor condition. We happen to have a good spare rear rod, but not a front one. The camper is a 1964, so if you have a good appropriate front shift rod, we could really use one. We would have probably driven it tonight if is wasn't for this shortfall. Let us know if you can help, Peter and Kirk BlackBerry service provided by Nextel
