Master Brake Cylinder Pedal shaft replacement?

[OUTFXD]

Break master cylinder  on Jaquiline failed... again.  Decided to get a new one rather than attempt another rebuild. 

 

Problem is the new one did NOT come with a pedal pin shaft. Mushroomed the heck out of the pin trying to get it out of the old master cylinder.

 

I am already tapping into next months funds,  just to purchase the master cylinder.  The pin is another 125 dollars.  

 

Anyone have a cheap short term fix so I can hobble through January? My buddy suggested a grade 8 bolt,  would have to get kinda creative with that.

 

Thanks in advance!

Can you grind down the edges of the "mushroom" so the pedals can be reassembled on the cylinder? Be very careful with this, the pin is extremely safety critical!

Good suggestion,  however some of the edges have cracked,  If I where to grind them down I would still have cracks where the C clips are inserted.  and I wouldnt feel safe driving her like that.

I got to imagine a machine shop wouldn't cost that much to replicate?

Thats a good think!  I will have to check into it tomorrow!
