Shifter Linkage Hardware Help...
Ok so I have my new Vortex rear sets and Annitori quick shifter. The linkage and thread pieces sent with the quick shifter assume male ends on the rearset knuckles. As you can see the Vortex linkage is female ends on both ends. Not only that the linkage rod and knuckle by the shifter are left hand threads (so you can twist the linkage to adjust shifter position).
My problem is I've been all over town trying to find a store that carries linkages in metric that have right hand thread on one end and left hand thread on the other. I could make due with right hand thread on both ends if I could find another female knuckle with right hand thread. Does anyone have a link or an online resource for linkages, knuckles or something that will enable me to get this installed? I must not be searching correctly because I cant find anything...Grainger doesnt even carry this stuff.
Help please...

The linkage pieces they give you with the kit are weak at best. The HM Quickshifter is designed to accept left or right threads.

Ok after some research and suggestions from some local guys I found this website...

They have metric linkages and hemi bolts etc. Could be useful in the future.
