Yeah, tell me about it! It was tough to find one for my 59 T-bird. I bought and tried a couple on E-bay just hoping they would work for me. I ended up modifying one.
I found this, there are more, and sometimes you'll find one that is old and dirty for around $75.

Good luck!

I could be wrong, but I think '61-'62 are the only years that will fit.  I found one online from a y-block powered car for my '62 and so far it's working ok with my FE, but I've reinforced it quite a bit.  Crites sells the Z-bar pivot blocks, so they may carry the bar itself as well, it would be worth a call.  Good luck!

Yes, mine lasted about a year, then when I put in a centerforce dual friction clutch it cracked and I had to reinforce it as well.
