I'm installing Chris Foley's firewall bushing which is a beautiful design.
Has anybody installed one using fasteners other than the sheet metal screws or pop rivets that came with the kit? I've been contemplating installing #10-24 riv-nuts after reading someone else's experience with either the screws or the rivets (I can't remember which) working loose over time. What's your experience? |

I installed the spherical bushing from Chris in 2016 I think - so about 8 years and many thousands of shifts later...
The pop-rivets are starting to get loose. When freshly installed they were tight - zero play. Now when I'm under the car I can wiggle the housing that holds the ceramic bushing very minutely. It has not made any difference at all in shifting, but the pop-rivets are allowing some movement after a bunch of years in operation. I have thought about putting rivnuts in there, but won't until there is a damn good reason to unhook the shifter. BTW - this loosening could very well be rust forming on the firewall, or from just wear and tear on the pop-rivets. I drive the car a lot, and that includes through downpours that always seem to happen when I have the car over 100 miles from home. Zach |
