The accelerator pedal assembly on my 70 GT500 has a bushing on both sides of the pivot rod where the rod enters the bracket. Those were worn out, so I bought a new one from CJ Pony. It was listed as a 69 Mustang part, but I was told by a Shelby guy that all were the same. It only has a bushing on one side and just the rod thru a non-bushing hole on other side. Probably will be fine, but why even do that? Why a bushing on just one side? Anyone know of the correct part being available before I send this one back?

do you have a pic of the part and the area you can reference? All 1970 Shelbys started as 69s so if you need a year specific part it would be a 69 unless you are talking carb and dist on your 500.
This is the original. Zoom in and you'll see a bushing on both sides. The CJ Pony replacement only has a bushing on one side. Anyone know who makes a correct replacement?
This one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/293325129804?hash=item444b8a484c:g:PTgAAOSwjUhaRnOn&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA0AmPQ3foMpd4Tca6FPpy3a8fU%2FOm37qmqYWoFRZN8QY2kRhWvzOw1lX6u7En0E20z8K%2FooSr9A3Z85nPG3ViQkE7QaCA7okINiWcMAIgqNbAJIFUuDQ341i5oABwhJRj586Ra8RCKX%2BOOv5NZ9yqnQSqqHQzESLlY%2FnsD81%2F5T4QUgzdD5wRRuvwGWMRvW3TgxJUxKnG8MxLMozEAOfSYozTUP9H%2Bk6Kpc13u4puvp1nrON5QekJghdq600BaR%2BvjAiReHICjKkOaw8HiOQjYGM%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR9SOrK7bYQ
Here is an original (?) one you may want to ask for better pics of? There may be more I stopped at these 2.

Tks. The first one does have bushings on both sides, but is a reverse configuration to a Shelby. The second is used, and I'm looking for a new replacement. But I appreciate you putting time into trying to help me out. I'm waiting to hear what CJ Pony has to say.
Sorry, the first one is the same as what I took off, just reverse to one advertised as a Shelby assembly on eBay.

Shelby and Mustang ones are the same. All 1969 Mustangs got the same one to be clear. More times than not the repo parts are not made the same.

CJPony acknowledged it was not correct and the others they checked in stock were also not correct.
