gas pedal linkage and bushing

i love the offy set up; just bought abrandnew manifold for the exact same set up. the bushing thing is easy, this iswhat I did for my 66 Barracuda 225/6.

I took the rod and that weird bracket (3 bolt) out and bought a steel collar from the local hardware store that slid over the rod and had a allen screw to tighten it down on the rod. then welded a larger diameter washer to the side of the collar so it would not fall out of the 3 bolt weird bracket. it works well and no issues so far, the car is at my shop. If I can i will get a picture tomorrow.
Please note the collar must fit tight over the rod but fit and rotate inside the 3 hole bracket. the collar is what acts as a bushing and the washer is only there to keep the throttle rod from falling out since the collar is only like 1/4" thick and the rod doe move in and out over 1/2" during normal operation.
