I am surprised you are having such problems. All 1969 Camaros (except COPO 9737) use an 11/16" front sway bar:

If you don't find a pair, send me a PM. I am ALMOST certain I have an extra set. They are used, but still very nice.

Have you tried seeking out 1969 Firebird Front Sway Bar Bushings? They should be the same as for the Camaro and probably not in such demand. Maybe a set of NOS bushings.

Yes but there were two styles of bracket, one with 'fingers' used from around mid-production, and an earlier style without. The bushings are different and the one most parts vendors stock fits the early style.
