I'm just curious why everyone doesn't just run a cable clutch? Is there some kind of restriction on this type of mod in the class you race in? Once installed it is easier to adjust and easier to push......and in the remote chance you actually broke a cable you could change one out in a parking lot. I hate Z-bars altogether. I just built a complete custom setup for my care complete with removable aluminum quadrant and I could not be happier with the results. If I had to run a Z-bar I would be using an automatic.
Hey John, I was just giving you grief about the welds. One request though, in the future when you make mods (and PLEASE post them) could you maybe take the pics before you paint them black? Kinda hard to see what I'm looking at, but it does look awesome.
Ron, I thought he explained some of that earlier (or was that on the wide tire post). He showed some pics, pretty tight.

Im going to start the process of creating a z-bar that wont break.
I noticed in yours with the triangle welded in, that mine broke above where your triangle ends. I guess a lot of people have their break at the base where it meets the tube?
I'm thinking about buying 2 z-bar, and cut the bent section off of one and welded to the other, making 1 good strong one.
Any better ideas? I'm supprised noone sells an aftermarket z-bar as this has been a consistent problem for the past 40 years.....

John, your set up looks very close to mine. I used a "wrap around" gusset but that was overkill as the initial failure was at the track and cost me some laps. I use a "long" style clutch and it requires a strong "Z" bar.
