65 Accelerator Pedal Help
I cannot find a replace accelerator pedal link for my '65 GTO. The original had a roller that was completely worn and would not work well with the pedal. It's a horrible grinding feeling because it's metal-on-metal right now. Does anyone know if there's a suitable replacement? It's the circled items in this photo. Thanks in advance.

I have this one. It's the original to my car. I found a nicer one years ago. The only problem with this one is it has a flat spot and you can sometimes feel it when driving. It doesn't always spin, but better than metal grinding.

I have excellent replacement rollers for that problem.

chrisp, are you selling replacement rollers only? How does that work since the roller shaft is pressed into the accelerator rod? It looks like the rod would need to be modified to allow replacing the actual roller.

I managed to design a replacement that my employer's machine shop made for me. I'll probably tweak the design a little in the future, but it'll do.

Because my 65 floorboard was rusted out where the gas pedal sits on 2 studs. I put a 67 GTO "floating pedal" on my car.
Been there for almost 40 years. Works for me.
