Anyone have suggestions for what to use as a substitute rubber bumper for the clutch pedal to ride against? I can't seem to find a true replacement for '65/66.
I ordered one listed for dents so i'll see if that works later this week (after it arrives) but I suspect it may not.

Re: Clutch Pedal rubber bumper?
I ordered some rubber tube from McMaster-Carr with the intent of making that work. Not sure if that is the technical term. It is a rubber cylinder with a hole through it. Then I realized I can simply turn the bumper around to an area without wear so I never tried to use it.

Yeah, if this dent version I ordered doesn't work I was thinking I would probably try to find a generic rubber bumper with a hole in it that i can us a recessed bolt/washer/nut to hold it in place. Something like a typical shock bumper - only smaller..........

Well - fyi the dent one didn't work. Wasn't even close to correct size etc.
Off to the hardware store in search of something to substitute......
