Default anti-hop bar bushing

Hi,

I'm wondering if I can use a stock style bushing for the anti-hop bars, or if I have to buy another one. Can't find any information about it.
Car is a 66 GTO with manual transmission.

I have these: https://www.summitracing.com/int/par...tiac/model/gto

I don't want to buy a complete new set of anti-hop bars just because of the bushings.

Do you think these would fit?

Thank you!
Chris

Here is the number to their tech line;

952.985.5675 Support. Open 8-5 weekdays central standard time.

I'd probably try a call to them to find out if the bushings are serviced separately, sometimes they'll offer to send you small parts at no charge for a goodwill gesture. If not they can give you a part number to order from a dealer, or their online store.

The bushings that come with the part may be of a different durometer specification. Using a bushing more compliant may defeat the operation of the aftermarket part. They designed the bars, so they should be the one to recommend a replacement bushing.

That would be my first call to try to solve the problem............

Thanks a lot.
I contacted QA1 and they told me, what bushings they use.

You can't find this information on the website and I just need to replace the bushings. The bars I have are some years old and the bushings are not good any more.
