Paul,  Could you give the source (and Part #?) of the rubber rod end
used for the rear strut.  I have misplaced that info a couple of
times.
  Thanks,    Jerry

McMaster Carr.

Thanks,  As I recall you recommend using the 1/2 inch version sleeved
down for a 3/8 inch bolt.  Is that correct?   Should there be one one
each end of the strut or is one sufficient?      Jerry

The 3/8 bolt is optional. Just an esthetic thing really. You can use
1/2 inch bolts if you wish.

One on each end of the strut. Order one male left hand and one male right
hand thread. McMaster Carr also has a left hand 1/2 inch tap I think.
That way you can simply loosen the lock nut and turn the strut to adjust
the thrust line pitch. This picture shows the old solid ball joints.
Maybe you can make one for Barny while you are at it. He needs one.
