This is the adapter I got. I believe it's M10x1.0 internal and M14x1.5 external (I'll double check later) the interior diameter was not large enough for the sensor so it had to be drilled out.

I zeroed the buckle as short as possible so both sides had no excess threads showing. Then I attached one side. From there, I spun the middlebto push the other side out. When I was is the general right spot, I put it in and bolted it up loosely. I make sure both arms were in the most forward position possible. Then I checked to make sure the second attachment point was seated square and proper onto the other arm. Then I tightened everything down.

Even with flipping the second blue bracket backwards, you can see it is misaglined by a few small degrees. Because these are fully articulated, it is perfectly fine and i have no worries. I am just a perfectionist. #Bulletproof

I threw both arms forward to set it up in place for the adjustable turn-buckle.

Boom. Now that it's on the back, you can see both linkage arms back onto the same plane again. Not sure if anyone else has donw it this way before, but this make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I put the bolt in from the back so it lower profile. I wouldnt have hit anything anyways, but I would rather not have to deal woth any of this again later. Here you can see that both of the linkages are not on the same plane, and the second blue plate is advertised as bolting onto the right side. The turn-buckle is articulated so its nothing to worry about, but like I said, I do not want to deal with this again. So to correct this, I flipped it around.

The second one was too large and made contact with the factory bracket. I simply shaved a little bit off.

I found the perfect size lock washer to fit right in there. This would help create better surface area and more for the linkage to grab onto. Like i said, probably not a real problem but I dont want this to be a failure point since its part of a whole assembly and i can just buy ans swap that part out, plus all is needed is a washer. Azzy should really include this in their kit.

The way that Chrystler did this was real strange. There is barely any metal left inside the hole. This probably isnt too much to worry about but I knew I could do better.

So first off the old bushing had to come out. The bolt would not fit and i dont think I would want 25 year old rubber on there anyways. I used a razor knife.

I bought this a year and a half ago when the OEM case originally broke. Unfortunately, I had removed the factory shift linkage at that time and did not take any pictures. Either way, you get the point. When I bought this kit, i did have to go back and order the second blue part to adapt it for the 242 (this was done pre-swap)

Also, I know you cannot see it well, but the rear leaf springs are sagging quite a bit.

It does fit! From mounting surface to mounting surface, its 31 1/4 inches.

She got some (expected) battle scars fighting with the cement floor and jack. A transmission jack would have been nice!

Then I applied the sticker. Its actually kind of iritating that the second row was stamped slightly off center.

So this is where I jacked it up. I drilled the top hole for the largest blind rivet I had knowing damn well the set I had was an assortment set from amazon, and I did not have to attachment for. The bottom blind rivet is the largest one that I actually have the attachment for.

With the inner fender notched, you can see it better. Immediately I wondered if these prepunched holes are specifically for what I am doing. I seriously considered drilling out these holes instead. But that means ai would have to trim my hood release, something I seriously did not want to do.

I marked out the holes on the inside and drilled a pilot hole. You can see I drew about where the top hole will land and the part that will need cut off to make it easier.

This is roughly how it sits. The top is not parallel with the ground; it angles down towards the rear axle. Is this how the police packages and MJ's sit? I am sure it wont cause a probl3m woth the release cable, just wondering if this proper.
