I too am searching for 361 501 753. Came across your post.
Wish to add to it and reopen the topic too.

Have found several of the usual vendors do sell an entire
z-bar rebuild kit, but it has many extra tubes and bushes
which a T3 does not need.

Which poses the question...are these kits T1 based?
Further, could it be that 113 501 753 (z-bar guide) simply replaces 361 501 753.
and 361 501 737 (z-bar bumper) consequently can be swapped to 113 501 737?

If anyone has the answer, or has tried this substitution already, please let us know.
My '68 swing-axle square could use a fresh set of these bushes as well.

thanks!

I'm also looking for a source for these. This is a picture of mine, right rear. It can come off if you pull it hard enough. Bushing appears to be black. Sorry for the lack of a close up.

Perhaps it's something one would have to improvise?

Thanks,

Mine will just slide off, So i removed the bolt and installed a large washer to hold it from backing off, problem solved for now until the rubber bushing just flat falls apart.
