Manual Clutch linkage upgrade

Here is one of the things I worked on last weekend, I saw something similar in the 'Brothers' catalog but they wanted what seemed to me way too much for their kit, so I made my own. I already had some 7/16-20 rod layin around so I ordered up two spherical joints from summit(like $6 each) and put it in. Now you should use 3/8 instead as that is the correct size for the holes, I just used 7/16 cause I already had it and it is only slightly bigger. The rod I cut to 16" which was a little short and I had to adjust the shift fork rod all the way in so I think 18" would be a good start for anyone else. All in all I think the whole thing cost me $20. And the feel of the pedal is soo much smoother and doesnt pop and creak anymore.
