48ply1stcar Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) About six or seven weeks ago I finally tired of my clutch pedal scraping on the floor board. So I removed the lock clip, loosened the master cylinder and pulled off the pedal. As most of you know you can’t buy a replacement pedal bushing. So there I was with the pedal in my hand and a dumb look on my face. Here’s my solution. You know when you go to your local hardware store and you see a K&S Engineering display box of various tubes and shapes of brass and copper. Well I called K&S and they told me that I could buy a brass tube from there Special Shapes Division. So I brought a foot of brass tubing with in a 13/16 inch OD and a .029 wall thickness, TT826http://www.specialshapes.com/round029.html ($10 & 6 S&H). I polished the first 2 inches so I wouldn’t have to polish it later. Then cut it to length with a pipe cutter, I cut a 7/8 inch wide section from the length, and drilled a hole at the grease fitting. It fits perfectly. I haven’t had the car on the road yet so I’ll report back later. As of Summer of 2018 it works fine. http://www.ksmetals.com/ Edited December 4, 2018 by 48ply1stcar Added info 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old rat 49 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I've used their brass for many uses such as rebushing carb's. Check your local hobby shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanner Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Fantastic. There is always another way to skin a cat if you are determined to find it. As one of my teachers was fond of saying, "The near impossible we do in a couple of hours; the impossible takes a little longer." Thanks for the share.
