> In one of our conversions we decided to see if the stock rod will work
without bending, a year later and it was still fine (slight rub).
> The bend does not have to be as severe as Ur-q, just a nudge... you can
install it and see where the worse part is, mark, take off and bend in the
vise... or if you are handy with a precision relocator (pry bar) you could
bend it while still in the car (after heating it up with a torch).

not received it last week and being informed that they were shipping it out
to me, I followed up again today only to find they did not have the right
one and may not be able to get one to me before next week.  Now I am in a
pinch as this conversion needs to be completed by the weeks end.

they can get me on short order - that is delivered to me in under 3 days -
I'll eat the expedited shipping costs if necessary.

that I reiterated plenty of times enought to have the decency to call me and
inform that there would be a delay.  This car needs to be on the boat to
Germany mid-next-week.
