I have a stainless steel bar tying my engines together. It is a solid bar with threaded ends and then a female end piece screws on each end of the bar and a bolt goes through the endpiece into the steering arm of each motor. These endpieces have a round bushing that appears to be pressed into them and the bolt goes through the round bushing. I was messing with my motor today and was able to pull one end of the tie bar up off the steering arm bolt, as if the bushing was wore out. This could have been a real disaster. I just need to find this female end piece to thread on my rod (no pun intended)
Any help?
