1974 8-seater microbus mechanical rebuild

Tappit adjusting screw and lock nut have the right thread pitch (I have them in mine)

There is a horrible self tapping screw they should come with as he says but honestly if you can get a shouldered bolt that will go through the hole in the gear shifter (I have a few but they are just a little too big without making the hole in the gear shifter rod bigger or turning the bolt down which I will someday) and then fit a washer on each end so it doesn't crush the material and a nyloc nut on the end and you will end up with a much better than original connection.  Attached is the type of bolt I am referring to.  As long as it can't come undone any bolt will work but unless you drill the nut and bolt to wire it or use a nylock nut you wont be able to stop it being too tight with out is coming undone.
