Buick ST400 guys. I need some help...

Working on a 65 Rivi. Trying to get the switch pitch working. I was missing micro-switch, brackets, and kick-down plunger. Got all of those parts on the car, and now I am realizing that where the throttle linkage meets the plate that the switch pitch micro-switch bolts to, I need the correct GM bushings, or the switch will not correctly align with the linkage.

Does anyone out there have a source for these bushings?

I hope that makes sense. Here is a pic of where I am talking about:

 

washers??

 

I had a skylark years ago with a switch pitch 300, so I kind of know what you're talking about...but I sure don't know where to get the parts. Seems to me you could figure out what they need to be like, and make them from spacers/washers, or have them made by a buddy with a lathe.

I have a lathe....if you do figure it out, send me a sketch?

 

I know of no source for them, or the original switches.

as Squirrel said lathe.

 

Go to the Riviera Owners of America club/web site, I imagine this can be taken care of.

Or look up Russ Martin at Centerville Auto Repair, he may have wha you need.

Good luck!

 

my bro has a 64 rivi w/st400.... if you don't have any luck elsewhere, pm me & I'll have him snap some pix & do some measurements....he is looking for a source for the switch plug/o-ring that goes thru the trans btw
slacker

 

Does he need the two prong plastic connector piece?

 

Damn Rivis r a pain!
