Hi all:
While doing some detailing on my engine compartment ('58 444 L - B16) in preparation for installing the new eng/trans I decided to have a look at the mechanical clutch linkage. Good thing I did! The pivot point on the frame was oblonged to the point of near breakage and the two rods and bellcrank had serious grooves worn in them. There seems to be no provision for lasting lubrication at most of these pivot points, save the one on the bellhousing.
I did a search to see if anyone had a fix but could find nothing. I am thinking maybe something like a heim joint or some sort of bushing? Anyone have a fix/thoughts? should I just weld and remachine them?

TIA & Cheers!
OK
