Its been a while since I did mine, but I "grafted" the bottom part of a (I think) '72 gas pedal to the upper portion of the 69 style. From what I remember, The newer" style 72 pedal has a different bolt pattern on the firewall. I cut both rods on a 45* angle and welded it back together. After I filed it , you cant tell anything was ever done to it. Now the pedal is supported by the rod, not the ball on the floor. It was done over 4 yrs ago, and is still working great!
