diameter of brake and clutch pedal shaft

[jcmiller]

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.

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.

Maybe a 42 is different than a 47, because on my 47 you could completely remove the pedal shaft from the master cylinder.

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.

This is what I used for the bushing.

there is a vendor on ebay selling new shafts for a good price.

Yes, I just received one from them.  I came here to post that info and saw your post.

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.
