i am connecting up my shifter rods to the column mounted box on my 56 3100 with the 3-speed.

i bought new bushings (metal cylinders inside rubber grommet) and they will not fit on the shifter rods. That is: they are too small in diameter for the end of the rods to fit into. I remember a discussion on this subject (i think), but couldn't find in a search.

Does anyone know of a source of bushings that fit, or some other work-around?

thanks
