    I was told this is an upper clutch rod for a Maverick. Part #: D0DZ-7521-A

    It is about 12" long.

    It looks like the one I have, except for the upper right end of it. Mine is the same on both ends, and both of my ends looks like the bottom left end.

    Help please!!

    I have a 69.5 and it looks just like the picture. Must have been another one of those early things.

    Were talking in inches here Dan, not the metric system.

    Oops, after thinking about it for a minute I had to go look. Mine is as you describe, Craig, a 90 degree bend on each end. So does the end with the loop go to the pedal or the z-bar?


    Was Dan talkin' meters? I AM impressed! :eek:

    I would like to know too, Barry.

    So which end gets the loop?

    The loop on mine is out on the Zbar. The whole Zbar is weird looking, almost like an after thought. I'll try to get a pic of it tomorrow.

    hehe, no really, Mine is longer. I had my factory clutch rod lengthened several years ago cause I ran some weird clutch setup that required it. Still using it but I dont need the added length, just keep it to brag about!! :bananaman
