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 Original part number for clip was changed/superseded to the hurst type generic clip shown in the late 70,s I believe .

I can't say every 1969 car with a factory hurst shifter was configured this way, but what I recall and backed up by the assembly manual is the following:

Rod end, wave washer, lever (shifter or trans), flat washer and last cotter pin.

Rszmit the hair pin clip you reference I've only seen holding the reverse lockout lever rod.
The assembly manually is not always accurate, but in this case it represents what I have seen.

I've looked at hundreds of survivor cars as well.
