Clevis Fork dimensions after material removal

Heims overall length cut down to 1.700"

Emergency Maneuver that starts with Heim? 1 of 13

Emergency Maneuver that starts with Heim? 2 of 13

Front threaded rod cut down to .450 (I aim for minimum of 9.5 threads of engagement on any 5/16-24 joint)

Rod end clevis fork ground down to 1.975" (again minimum 9.5 threads of engagement)

Length of coupler is ~ .855" cut down from 1". 9.5 times two is 19, so this allows minimum of 19 threads of engagement

Temporary mount using 1 flat head 1/4-28

The threaded portion of my "thunk" fits nicely inside this spacer

The 11/16-16 thread is not too common

I will leave ~ 1.25 diameters of thread engaging and remove all else

What an idiot, I turned off half the nut down to spacer OD to save a little weight

You can see I left a little space so the spacer can pinch the bearing when the nut is tightened

I'm going to Redux the nut in place and Redux/Flox the thread extender hang-over

1/2" ball end-mill on order (McMaster) to to mill a pocket in the brake master cylinder directly above the mounting holes

Using fore and aft the supplied by Europa for push-rod jam nuts that are .155" thick

The magic number is 1.990" from the forward pillow block bearing to the grove.

You can see the pillow block is aft of the threads
