    Ok so the Autokrafters Z-bar runs into the exhaust manifold. Has anyone had any luck with getting this thing installed?

    Actually theres are 2 major issues with it.

    1) The top piece that connects to the pedal rod is too long.

    2) The bottom piece that connects to the clutch rod is a 1/4" too far in from the edge that goes over the engine mount.

    So they wouldn't take it back because they said I waited too long. Even though my first attempt to contact them about a return was inside the 30 day window.

    Now I'm stuck with a part that doesn't fit right. Any advice on getting it to work greatly appreciated.

    I probably could I was really hoping someone else already encountered this issue and had some good solid feedback on getting it in.

    I'll have to get some pictures up of the part they sent me.

    Maybe heating it up and flexing it out is the answer though.
