    A major distributer needs a 2-piece z-bar (for 302) to start the fabrication/manufacturing process for future customers. The former manufacturer has not delivered for 6-7 months. I have been searching for one to get my 74 on the road since Christmas.

    Will someone please help?

    You'll need a clutch/brake pedal assembly, the rod between the pedal arm and the z-bar, the z-bar, the rod between the z-bar and clutch release fork, engine and frame z-bar brackets, bellhousing, release fork, throw out bearing and input shaft pilot bushing, flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate and some time to install it. I believe some have installed a clutch pedal along side an automatic transmission brake pedal assembly. Did I get everything?

    Have you established a price for the fabricated z-bar? I'm interested.

    I don't want to hijack, but I have to say:
    A buddy o' mine used 5.0 Stang pedals and cable clutch setup to put a 5 speed in his 70 model. Don't ask me any details, I just know he did it to be able to use the stock cable setup. I know you can make a 5 speed work with stock linkages, but I don't know details there either! ;)

    So I am not much help, just throwing out an option for you to check into as well as hijacking someone's thread!:dance:
