Clutch Pedal Stopper?

Where can I get a clutch pedal bumper/stopper for my 1982 Z28. Mine is missing. This is the rubber stopper that has a threaded end on it and attaches to the metal shaft in front of the clutch pedal.
Thanks ahead of time for the help!

I have the same trans here. I can't think of this part.
You mean a stop to stop you from pushing in the clutch too far? In the passenger compartment?

uhhh... i think i know... do you have anything else on that "stoper" holder? i think you are thinking of the hole for the clutch sensor switch, it screws in ... well why tell you when i can show you, i happen to have a picture because i rule. ok, it looks like there is only one thing that can fit there, if you are missing that giant white plastic thing it is the switch that makes it so you cannot start the car without the clutch depressed. there should be a brown and yellow wire under the dash somwhere that somone has spliced together, these go to that switch.

as far as a stopper.... i don't have one on my 5 speed either

I do have the clutch switch. The part that I'm missing is a rubber stopper that would go in front of the clutch pedal, towards the top. When you turn it counter clockwise, it would move towards the firewall and take out the looseness of your clutch pedal. My clutch pedal as about an 1" or so of play in it. It rattles when it's not engaged. I have to use my foot and pull it towards me to make it stop rattling.
It's basically an adjustment bumper for taking out any play in the pedal.
Hopefully, I'm not blowing smoke or doing smoke on this one!!

"no actual stopper on these cars".

Your car should have a spring on the clutch adjustment fork that holds it enough to keep it from rattling.

Thanks, Sonix.
I will check my spring. I just put in the new engine and clutch assembly. Maybe my spring is toast.
