If headers were sold over the counter for 69 z/28 but were discontinued in 68 then what header manufacture supplied the ones sold over the counter? Was it the 67-68 left overs?

The 68 bushings have the ridge at the bottom as pictured above so do 67s and some earlier built 69s that are to small for the finger style bracket...Plenty of the larger 13/16 bushings available that fit the finger style bracket but the tricky one to find is a finger style bracket bushing for a 11/16 sway bar.

I'm not seeing the picture that's posted Kurt but I'm aware of the 2 types of brackets used. It looks like I'm not the only one who's ran into a problem getting a set of rubber bushing that's close to the correct size for a finger style bracket for a 11/16 or standard sway bar.The Rare Parts bushing pictured above fits the 13/16 bar..I got a set of those for a Yenko I'm restoring but did have to grind some off the top of the rubber due to being too tall. The smaller bushing pictured above will fit a 11/16 bar but as you can see it too small for the bracket..The middle bushing is an original... The bushing for the earlier style bracket will have a ridge in the bottom to match the bracket and are easy to find..Thanks

Found this old post doing a search because I'm having trouble finding the correct fitting bushing for a 11/16 sway bar with the finger style brackets. Gotten several sets of Moog from major auto parts stores and the camaro aftermarket suppliers but when I find a bushing that can be used for the finger bracket it's for a 13/16 sway bar....get a bushing to fit the 11/16 sway bar and it's  to small for the finger bracket? I'm guessing the over seas manufacturing is the problem? I talked with Moog tech guy and he said the manufacture put the bushings in the boxes and very likely they are boxed wrong?I'd bet they are made wrong too! Now the old style bracket vs the finger bracket time of change seems to be in Feb based on the info from John Z...I have a O2B Z/28 never touched with the older style brackets? Thanks in advance...

Hard to believe nobody has ever replied to this post till now.......I have some original brake cable connectors with the DD stamp that appear to be bare metal or very very lightly zinc plated..? The rod and curve part the cable adjuster bolts to look phosphate ? So do we have another 7 years till this question is answered? Thanks in advance....

Have these long bolts and spacers along with correct engine mounts been reproduced by anybody yet?

 In my opinion....These sellers are slowly taking the hobby away from the average working class people who are unable to pay the ultra high prices. I understand supply and demand but it's getting harder to pay for the parts than find'em !

I had always thought 67-69 had them until I saw the post James Groome said his early seat didn't have'em? Thanks for the replies!

OK..I did a search and found this old topic..When did the 69s stop getting the cable? I've seen 69 with and without the cable and have some seat both ways....Thanks for any help..

Thanks for the pics...I agree the CHQ clips are the best you can use other than originals.. I'm pretty sure I know what the 10-24 bolts look like but wanted to confirm my memory with some solid proof !
