Default Z-bar interchange

I have a 66 GTO resto underway. The Z-bar is a 67 piece. I believe it can be used in the 66. THe only thing I think I need is the small plastic bushing for the pedal rod. Are they available? If not anyone want to swap a 66 bar for a re-plated 67?

i dunno if it can be interchanged, but i'm pretty sure they're physically different

i've been looking for a '66 one too, and they look different than the '67's

doesn't mean it might not work though

You can get nylon spacers from Ace Hardware to make that bushing. You'll just have to cut them to length.
The '67 Z-bar has a rubber bushing on the upper arm for the pushrod, which is a different shape from the '66 because the '67 clutch pedal is different where the pushrod goes. Not sure you can mix these parts.

Guy's,
I am surprised at the lack of response to this simple question. Alot of members have viewed this question. Only a couple of well appreciated replies. Based on the number of views, if I were to guess there are literally 100's of years of pontiac GTO expereiences and knowledge around my question. The only differences I see according to the books I have is that the 67 unit requires a rod bushing, the shape in all photos seems similar to the 64-66 unit I need, the 67 came std. with a grease fitting where previous years it was optional. Someone out there must have the answer I need.
Anyone please.
Regards,
Joe
