Looking for the bolt/fastener that connects the steering cable to the nozzle on a Sportjet 120 installed in a 16 foot Mirage. I have been looking at parts catalogues for the Sportjet120 and they do not show this piece. Any ideas?

Must be an answer..Mercury books show everything except this fastener. It is special, not just a bolt. Just not sure why the IPC would not show it.

it is probably either a quick release ball and socket or a spherical end

1708208634164.png it is a spherical end that screws on to your cable and a shoulder bolt that screws into the hole in the nozzle arm if you know the threads of the cable and the size of the hole in the nozzle you can order them on line by size
or go here and pay through the nose https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwjx9JWItLOEAxX3oFoFHTSuC8cYABAcGgJ2dQ&ase=2&gclid=Cj0KCQiAz8GuBhCxARIsAOpzk8xjQ10y-bw0oSUGxgDFaqWdHsoQ7k991lPt3gqqXvSFCK2Du_2XxFEaAoSYEALw_wcB&sig=AOD64_2ieOAZZicN-6UB7msjzrwJvh2s3g&ctype=5&q=&nis=4&ved=2ahUKEwjJoo-ItLOEAxU2fTABHZWACXIQ9aACKAB6BQgDEJQB&adurl=

It is the shoulder bolt that I am missing. Thanks for the reply. I am not paying $70.00 USD for a bolt. My initial thought was just figure it out. Then I thought it is only a bolt..how bad could it be for OEM..pretty bad.

show a picture of it if possible I usually have good ideas on how to make something work even if you do it a different way, more than 1 way to fix a steering cable.
