Tore Z-Bar

[Tom Watters <tomwatters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, the other day, I had a clutch pedal spring break on me.  No
biggie, they do that every six months or so. (Cheap Parts).  I finish
driving the car home, because the pedal does return a bit even without
it and I can limp it home by lifting it with my toe. 

Just before I turn into the neighborhood, It goes to the floor and stays
there as I shift to 2nd to turn in.  I have to reach down and lift it
with my hand.  Didnt think anything of it.

Today when I went to put the new spring on, and one on the lower-side
because I figured that one was gone too.  I replaced them and the clutch
would only partially engage.  Thought maybe a bushing in the z-bar had
slipped out or broke.

Pulled the z-bar and it was tore on the transmission size to a good oval
shape.  I used the vice to press it back round and welded the tear with
my wire-feed to get me by until I find a replacement.

I was wondering if anyone had an extra early a-body z-bar they might
like to part-with and sell?
