67 Center Link ( drag-link )

I need a center link for my 67 442. Purchased one from a vendor that is slightly different Mine is 13/16 and this one is 7/8 which you wouldn’t think would be a problem although this new one doesn’t have the slight offset near the middle. New one wants to hit the crossmember when trying to attach it. Has anyone found a source for the correct 13/16 unit ? Thx Matt

I ended up using the one from Kanter although it was not a duplicate of the original I removed I think it will work. Overall length was the same and center to center was the same dimension on the tirerod holes. Had to remove the idler arm and attach it to the center link 1st for it to mount. The whole deal with the 13/16 vs the 7/8 is a little confusing. Thx for all the help especially Nick in Elkhart 👍
