Starter linkage
« on: October 20, 2024, 05:49:38 pm »
When I first bought this K10, the tilt wheel was loose. I just lived with it until the starter linkage broke.

This is a weird little link that has a curved body that allows for the ignition tumbler to pull the switch in various positions of steering wheel use.

Of course it broke when I was in a parking mall garage.

I found one at NAPA because I somehow found the Dorman number.

Be me, older, only thinking of the word clevis, and I think its wrong...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, right now, "she's dead Jim"!

I think you are referring to the rack and sector.

Yes, now that you mention it, there is a rack that pulls the switch. I'll search that, thank man!
