Greg,
You can get Heim joints from McMaster-Carr online, search for "rod end
ball joints". They have the connecting rods too.

I've got some sloppy shift linkage on the Ambo. Essentially, the pins
and holes have wallered out with time and use (and not enough
lubrication). The end result is that there is a lot of free play in the
linkage.

Other than purchasing new linkage (which I assume is no longer
available?), what is a good way to fix this problem? Would it be best to

drill out the holes and replace with generic bushings and pins?
