Looking for grommet or plug

Hey guys I have been searching for the grommet or plug/gasket that goes on the firewall where the brake pedal linkage goes through it. I have looked on LMC and other places and just cant find what I am needing. Anyone know where to find this piece to order? Or would it benefit me to go rummage through the junkyard down the road? Afraid if I found one in a junkyard it would most likely be dry rotted. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Looking for the oval gasket that goes where brake linkage is going through firewall

That rod is the clutch equalizer rod.

Most all the vendors carry the boot:

Thank you 62SY4! That makes way more sense. Wasn't paying attention to where it came from, just made the wrong assumption I guess haha

C5TZ-7A533-A .. Clutch Release Rod Seal / Reproduced

1965/67 F100/350.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 2 = 800-543-4959.

CARPENTER NOS PARTS in Concord NC has 1,527 = 800-476-9653.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a nylon bushing on each end of this rod. Over time, the bushings crack apart/disintegrate, the 90 degree ends of the rod begin to crack, eventually snap off.

2) C0AZ-7526-B .. Clutch Release Rod Nylon Bushing / Reproduced

Myriad 1960's/70's FoMoCo vehicles.

GREEN SALES CO. has 13.

CARPENTER NOS PARTS has 1,533.

Be aware that if the ends of this rod snap off, there are none available NOS and it's not reproduced!

Bill, good point on the bushings and rod breakage...

The rod is a PITA to get off at the top.. it's worth replacing the bushings and inspecting the rod for cracks.

Thanks Bill for the insight, I'm gonna go ahead and order some bushings also and inspect the rod when replacing parts. Thanks again!
