THrottle cable bushings
I'm looking for the bushing set listed in the photo attached below. Can anyone tell me where I may find them? They're for a 69 442.
I've checked with Fusick, Inline Tube, Year One, OPG, and Classic Ind. Nobody seems to have them.

I try to keep them when I find them, but I've moved twice since I've seen them last.
Try a carb rebuilder in your area, if noone here comes up with one!
The Parts Place has some unusual pieces - check them out, too!

If you can't find the the rubber pieces, the so called "exact" repro throttle cable you see being sold out there has a smaller attachment area (smaller hole in metal) so it eliminates the need for the rubber bushing and may be a solution for you.

As is, it was too wide for my little cotter pin to go on the throttle shaft, but a sharp razor blade cut it all down from 3/8" wide to 1/4" wide. Flange of both the white part and the black part are on the cotter pin side.
Worked great after then!

Try Supercars Unlimited...they have a narrow rubber grommet and the nylon bushing (bushing was "out of stock" when I ordered a few weeks back but maybe they have them now).
Don't buy the one The Parts Place sells....it's completely wrong and won't work....sent two back last week.
I have the hairpin cotters and the metal backing washer if you can't find any locally.
