These are little linkage deals like on a Pedal Master or GFI steel that holds the pull rod onto the bell crank. Don't know what they are called so can't find them. They must be just a common type linkage connector of some sort. These are just three different type. Where I put the screw is usually a little allen. Any help would be appreciated--Henry
Best pic I could get

Henry,
I just ordered some of these from GFI. They are listed as "Brass Ferrules" on the invoice. I usually refer to them as "set collars". |

I've always known them as "pull pins", or "pivot pins".  |

Thanks y'all, tried to Google all the above and still no luck. GFI and Pedal Master and MSA used them on the bell cranks and I'm sure they are a staple item somewhere. Still looking

| Looks to me like the pull pins that go in the GFI bellcranks, which are my favorite bellcranks. How it going Henry? Thanks. |

Thanks Billy, That's exactly what they are. Where do I get them? Need about 30 or 40.

| Henry, I had a JCH that used those. They were not brass like the GFI pins, but the GFI pins worked pretty good. I'm pretty sure the GFI pins had allen head set screws instead of the screw driver slot. I bought a few from GFI at the Dallas show a few years back. I've also heard them called swivels. |

Henry, I think Morse Control levers use similar items. They use them to go from a "bell crank" (using our terminology) to activate a push/pull cable. Look at this and see if this is what you need, and the right sizes. Should open page 217. Scroll down to the second item:
http://sierramarine.com/sierra/searchtxt/TeleflexCatalog00217.html
Morse/Teleflex makes controls for all sorts of stuff. Originally for boats, but they make shifters for trucks, etc. To purchase, if you can not find online, check a marine dealer. West Marine should be able to get them, even if they do not show them in their catalogue.
Good luck!
Doug

Those appear to me something like the old push pull choke cable end stops used on the old carburetors that had the manual chokes. Dorman Automotive Products probably still have them or even small engine repair shops . I sold a million of them over the years and OReilly's still had some when I retired 12 years ago. PTO cables used them also. Jack

| Last time I checked with GFI the pins were 5.00 each and the bellcranks were also 5.00 each. Of course, that's been 3 or 4 years ago. |

Henry, the one at the bottom of your photo is called a "cable pivot". If you do a google image search of "cable pivot" you can will see some like this. They are designed to hold a cable with a screw clamping it, and then the smaller part of the body fits into a hole on a lever and a clevis pin holds it there. That what you need? I will let you hunt through all the search options to find the best deal (besides, I don't know what size you need). You can also search "barrel nut" and find similar devices.
Cheers,
Doug
