Correct Strut Rod for '69 Available?

[Jack O.]

Does anyone know if any of the repro strut rods available are totally correct or at least which is the closest for a '69. I see alll the major vendors have one that is the correct diameter for a '69 but am wondering if it is correct in other ways also. "Assumed" mine where original and just got around to measuring them only to discover they are 1 3/8".
Thanks,
Jack

The best I have found is from Long Island Corvette Supply. I purchased a few sets from others, but like the LICS ones best.

I am with Larry, I put a set of L.I.'s in 63 that had the originals and put them side by side and they were very close , I can not remember if the rubber bushings were like the originals though, you can't see them anyway once in the car.
