Anybody know of a vendor that has, sells, the unique "clips" that attach the kickdown rods to the bell crank lever used on the transmissions, engines, on our old automobiles?

If i can locate a few more of them i will be able to have complete set up's of some more linkage units.

Haven't had any luck with McMaster-Carr, Grainger, Amazon vendors, ebay, or specialty fastener shops here in the Sacramento, Ca. area.

I know they are out there, but i just don't know who has them to sell.
Anyone ever have to buy these before?
Where did you get them?
Any leads would be appreciated. Thank's a lot.

What diameter hole? I might have some originals.
 
Seems like I have found them at O Really maybe??????? Probably not!!!!!
A few years ago, any good parts store had such in the back in drawers!!! Now days, those stores are hard pressed to find someone to work your CC!
 
I want to thank "junkyardhero" for the tip on getting these clips from that Amazon link that he posted.
Amazon driver got them to me a little while ago.
Just what i needed.
Worked great.
I ordered from Auto Zone also, and could put them to use what they get here.
So THANK YOU, again, you helped me out.
Much appreciated.

The one he had pictured were mostly on the bottom of the long rod on the one rod system. Mostly used on C Bodies that we all are guilty of robbing the drivetrain out of. I love C bodies. I never destroyed a nice C body. I bet a lot of you did! Admit it! I rescued a 73 New Yorker, 2 dr hdtp-it was my favorite car that I've ever owned.
