[QUOTE="Happystamps, post: 531780, member: 14679"] Nope, they don't. They only replace the parts between this thro-chassis link rod and the throttle pedal. This linkage also wears, and yup, it's metal on metal. So yes, a bearing system would be great, but: A- make sure you're not cutting out large sections of chassis for this B- bear in mind that the original lasted 40 years, which is almost as long as the Rolling Stones, and arguably has fared better. Personally, I'm on a budget. I'm replacing the rod itself (Can anyone measure the length of it for me, by the way?) with a length of 10mm OD x 1mm WT stainless tube wot I done pinched off work, with two A2 stainless washers, 10mm ID, welded over the original holes as guides. The stainless thing is purely co-incidental. The arms have been wire brushed and will be painted. [/QUOTE]
