Looking for clutch linkage and column parts

[charliemccraney]

I'm wondering if these parts are available anywhere.
For the clutch, I'm looking for clutch rod bushings, and washers for the equalizer bar. My bar has a lot of side play and I've never seen the washers when I've had it apart. I'm thinkin that may be the reason.
The hole in the pushrod which acts on the clutch fork is maybe 1/8" larger in diameter than the pin on the equalizer bar. Is that the way it should be?

For the steering column, I'm looking for the rubber insulator that goes where the column clamps to the dash bracket.

I think that's all.

vintage ford has the little plastic clips that the rod go through and yours looks like it's missing the washer. they also sale the little rubber pieces as well

the bushings you can get new at LMC, maybe other suppliers too.

the hole should be close to the size of the rod with the bushing on. elongation of the hole or a groove in the rod should be repaired.

refresh me your address in a PM and i will send you a rubber N/C for the column bracket. i should have tossed one in the box with the column tube..

My local Ford dealer had most of the wearable parts when I needed them. You may or may not be so lucky to have the partsman who also drives a slick and will do whatever he has to do to get me what I need.

Thank you! I'll check those places out. Vintage Ford, Would that be Sacramento Vintage Ford?

The hole in the clutch push rod is not elongated nor is the rod grooved. They are just significantly different in size, like a bushing is missing or I have the incorrect push rod. I see some flat washers in the parts diagram but no bushing. Just to clarify, the push rod I speak of is the one with the nut for adjusting the clutch.

charlie - Not to bring up an old thread, but I also need the bushing on the end of the clutch rod that attaches to the Z bar. There wasnt one there so dont know is one is even required. The hole to rod size is much larger. What did you come up with?

I ended up making one with a smaller hole. I got the stuff from www.mcmaster.com.
