Throttle and choke rods

[Ramjet47]

I am fitting new knobs to old throttle and choke rods in a 37 coupe. How do you accomodate the changing angle of the rods at the coupling when moving the rods forward and back?
I presume the knob and small part of the shaft should be at right angles to the dash through the complete range.

This is a pretty good thread on the subject (below). The rods have to be adjusted carefully by bending for proper alignment. The original coupling sleeves were crimped but a lot of folks opt for threading the ends and finding a small turnbuckle type link for them to screw into. Some glue them with epoxy. I've heard the late type sleeves are very hard so some don't crimp them.
