    Hey Mav, how did you do the engine side with that spherical bearing? That is normally the ball side.

    you will need to swap out the ball stud for a small block/I6 mustang one.
    this mustang stud will use a 7/16" ID X 1" OD spherical bearing.
    the maverick frame side needs 5/8" ID X 1" OD spherical bearing, the closest I could find is 5/8" X 1-1/16" OD spherical bearing.

    My z-bar is out for repair, found a crack in the lower arm. Hope to get it back Monday. While the guy is repairing it he is going to give me a quote to make a new one.
    No I am not looking to having the z-bars made to resell.
