I just went through this same thing. I had 6-7 inches of play in my early 29 Briggs 60B fordor. I was lucky to have ten 7 tooth units to choose from. I found a nice one with less then an inch of play that wasn't cracked (most 7 tooth housings are cracked where the control rods come out). I dissassembled,cleaned, painted & instaled a new upper bushing. Reassembled it & am very happy with the results. Your best bet is to locate a two tooth with an open quadrent that was used in the 29's. I have one of those in my 29 rdstr. They can be hard to locate but are out there. Have a great week.
