Hurst linkage clips

[rszmjt]

Both hurst clip shown and cotter pin are not assembly line installed in 69. Original cars used a clip that is flat on 1 side and had a bulge on the other, some call them hair clips. They also used a very thin machine type washer or wave washer (as Steve posted )to prevent the clip from tearing up the rubber bushing/grommet that was moulded/poured onto shifter arms, the rubber grommets were non removable. I have taken many original 69 Camaros apart in the last 50 years and in fact my 69 RSZ has such, it was untouched when I bought it in 74. Guy I work for has 2 69,s and a 20 km survivor and they are the same. The hurst clip shown is aftermarket item, and cotter pins were never used. Original part number for clip was changed/superseded to the hurst type generic clip shown in the late 70,s I believe .
