Replacement clutch pedal for 87

[DieselSJ]

The pin for the clutch master cylinder rod is wasted. Does anyone know where I can pick up a replacement pedal or pin?

Optionally I have thought about pressing out the pin and threading the hole and using a bolt and cutting off the end of the rod and threading it and installing a spherical joint.

Thoughts?

That's exactly what I recently did. Get a 7/16th female rod end. The pushrod is the same diameter as the threaded hole in the rod end. Measure twice- cut once. Cut off, grind smooth and drill a 7/16th hole in the pedal arm. Use a grade 8 bolt about
1-1/4 long and use a locknut to button it up.

Thank you!! What I'm running into with that idea is the rod on mine is 1/4" (1987) and the pin is 1/2". The only rod ends I can find for 1/4" also only have a 1/4" hole for the pin.

I see that. Some quick Google search didn't find that size. However, I KNOW they exist as I bought 2 of them sometime in the past. I just gotta figure out where. Might have been Speedway or Grainger. I'll try to find em and let you know

Looks like new master cylinders all come with rods, so I'm going to let this die. Now I just need to find a replacement pin for the pedal. This is where I may be going with a bolt. Tractor supply has some nice thick wall nylon sleeves so that may work its way into the setup also.

you'll have to weld the bolt in, you can't tighten it up its got to be able to move.

Bronze sleeve. I can tighten against it.
