Default Mixture arm hardware

I have a little nagging "loose end" that I'm trying to clean up in my O320 fwf installation. What connects the 10-32 threaded end of the mixture cable to the mixture lever of an MA-4SPA carburetor? My carb's mixture lever has a 1/4" hole, and I can't find a clevis or rod end to accommodate it.

What should I use? At this point, I'm inclined to use a normal 3/16" rod end with a -3 bolt, and then machine a little bushing to take up the space in the mixture lever hole. It seems there should be a better way.

Thanks,

M

It looks like you're looking for the mixture arm bushing. $1 at the mothership.

Default Check your junk box first...

I found a brass printed circuit board standoff in my junk box that was 1/4" OD. I opened the hole out to 3/16" with a drill. Then cut a short piece off for the spacer.
