Default C1 Clutch Rod Bushing

I am using a Centerforce clutch assembly in my '57. For the second time in two years, I have to replace the clutch rod rubber bushing. I understand this is a common problem in C1 cars, has anyone found a suitable replacement that doesn't fail as often?

Thanks,
Pierre

If your not concerned with originality, use a Heim joint. I had the same issue you are having with changing the bushing often. I installed a Heim joint at the end of the clutch rod and it works great

I had to retire early from two races because of that poorly designed piece of junk.
