I've got a worn clutch pedal to repair. The clevis pin which acts directly
on the clutch master cylinder, has almost worn through the side of the
pedal.

I was thinking of mig welding up the worn hole & then remachining it, but
thought I'd check with the "knowledge bank" here first....


I've put a pic of it in the dropbox:

There was the remains of a bearing / wear ring in the pedal. It appears to
be hardish steel (magnetic) & is not bearing bronze which is what I thought
it might be.

Would a bearing ring machined from some phosphor bronze bearing material
work? Alternatives? I've no idea what specs the phos. bronze is that I'd
use - it'd be from the local hardware store supplier.


Of course, I'm fitting a new clevis pin etc.


thanks

I think Id simply weld up the hole and redrill it, cause putting in a
new bushing wouldnt leave much material. Big question is..how long did
it take to wear like this?

Can you use a bronze clevis pin as a sacrificial part?

The picture I see looks like a hammer - but I'd just braze the hole
almost closed, making it as thick as possible, and then drill it out
and put in the pin. Braze makes a decent bearing. Put a bit of greese
on it when you assemble it.
