Need a Certain Part

Post by TrikerTom »

I built a trike, and the shift cable and its coupling finally gave out after a decade. I have a 1973 Automatic Type 3 Transmission where I need the means to couple the shifter cable to the lever.

The broken part is shown below.

I welcome any suggestions or recommendations on where to find this part, either just the broken shaft that includes one threaded and one fixed nut end, or an alternative custom fix.

Here is a part that I found online, but there is no way to attach the shift cable to the lever.

I have also shown the setup of where the shifter cable meets the lever.

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Maybe just drill a hole through a grade 5.8 shoulder bolt and smooth the edges of the hole. Fairly sturdy, but I wouldn't want it harder than the cable end.
