pedal assembly?
I'm trying to install a hydraulic TO bearing in my z-bar car, and everything possible has gone wrong.
Long story short, my clutch pedal has a MASSIVE slot, instead of a hole, for the pushrod.
Can I buy a new clutch pedal? Or the entire clutch/brake pedal assembly? I'm wondering if this setup is compatible with the T5 setup in the later years, or with an '80 Camaro T-10, or...?
Otherwise i'll just get this welded up, and press in a bronze bushing...

Take the pedal out, weld up the hole then drill a new hole.

Re: pedal assembly?
Damnit Stephen, talk about being the bearer of bad news eh? Yea, that's what i'm thinking i'll do. Or just get them (a machine shop) to press in a bronze bushing. normally it uses a rubber/plastic bushing (which is destroyed) to take a ~5/8" hole down to 3/8" for the clutch rod. I think i'll just get them to clean up the hole and put in a 3/8" ID bronze bushing and go to town...
