That Autozone grommet seems like a decent replacement. Though when mine came out it seemed like it was originally a hard plastic, and not rubber that turned hard over 50yrs. My plan was to turn one on a lathe out of a small puck of delrin. Now most of my linkage were so rusted and seized they had to be cut off, so if anybody has a line on reproductions or DIY solutions I’d appreciate a PM with the info.

You really need the hard ring to make it work.  The rubber cover holds it in place, but the plastic or metal ring is the pivot, so the geometry is right, and the cable can pull the brakes and  hold the car.
