Rick Ehrenberg once offered a clutch adjusting "problem solver" on his e bay.

The adjuster rod service kit which is normally found was upgraded to a ball that fit right in the end of the clutch fork.

I found it to be a really good upgrade yet I don't see it available anymore.

@Chryco Psycho once mentioned it was on Ram truck I believe?

Thoughts on it CP?   

Worth getting if you are having to re adjust clutch play more often than you'd like.

I just e-mailed Rick so I will reply back if he answers.

I used to get them out of mid 80s Ram trucks & vans , not available from Mopar any more

I likely have 10 or more of them with all of the 4 spd conversions I was doing But they are roughly 4000 miles from me

Both my 4 speed cars have them and they are much better than the stock setup.
I've used them for many years but I'm not even sure where I bought them.

Chryco Psycho

They were stock but in trucks not cars , I would scavenge them from wrecking yards

His most recent e-mail:

I bought these from the Chrysler dealer 20 years ago, I bought all that were available when the parts manager told me they were discontinued, I'm down to about three or four, so that's the end of the line.

If there is any interest for more of these, they look like something easily produced.
Send some measurements, or... If one was at the Woodley Park show I could make measurements from it. or...X2 purchase one myself.

I have one of these I'm planning to use soon. I could take some detailed measurements and pictures if you're offering to reproduce some. I'd like a couple more, one for a second car of mine and maybe a couple to keep for future use. There aren't any currently on eBay but at $30-35, it's worth it.

Yes, that was the suggestion. Would make a few. Not necessarily for $$$. In the trade of machining . Just what I do...
Dimensions would be great.
Thanks.
