[Healeys] linkage ball & socket

[Mark and Kathy]

Oh my God.   They already exist.   I must have been absent the day this 
originally
came to the list.

Wish I knew then what I know now.

Spose I can always change over,  right?

Anybody want to buy some cheap, inferior, short lasting, foreign made, carb 
linkages?

I didn't think so.

Thanks  guys,

Mark
