jcmiller Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Does anyone have a reference that states the diameter of the brake and clutch pedal shaft, part number 871975? The particular application is a '42 Plymouth but I think the same shaft was used on other years. Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmiller Posted May 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Thank you. That's what I measured also, but I wanted a double-check. The reason is that I have the clutch pedal off and need to replace the bushing and I'm sure the machine shop will ask the diameter of the shaft. I'm trying to avoid removing the master cylinder from the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybose Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Maybe a 42 is different than a 47, because on my 47 you could completely remove the pedal shaft from the master cylinder. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcmiller Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 That's not a bad idea. I'll look to see how much other stuff I would need to disconnect to do that. It does move a bit so maybe it will slide right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmiller Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 To wrap this up, the bushing I received was about a half inch longer than the original but otherwise matched. The machine shop cut it off and pressed it in and the pedal is back on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
