psu_Crash Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I like it. Now you just have to go one step further. Oil impregnated bronze bushing in the master cyl arm and a small bearing pressed into the clutch pedal arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squrlsquash Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) evolution taking place...http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag24/Squrlsquash/25014811-66fe-43b0-8ecb-223b4c6befec_zpsdca35e7f.jpg Was thinking about an upsized pin to fix the issues with the master/pedal arm, then i thought of a pressed in sleeve or something - oversize the hole and sleeve it back to original diameter. in the meantime, im keeping it simple until there's interest & funding for otherwise My pin made a big difference on it's own, and planning to swap the clutch cylinder shortly which should take care of the rest. p.s. comes with two washers (one either side of the pin), to prevent one of the master cylinder arms from wearing in the gap right next to the bolt head Edited December 6, 2014 by Squrlsquash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malykaii Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Having just recently made a short shifter for my montero out of an old mk1, I have a lot of respect for anyone who fabricates anything for cars. Let me go downstairs today and see if I need one. Regardless, keep up the good work sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squrlsquash Posted December 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I will make a new posting for the seat brackets I made shortly in the meantime, tell all your friends the benefits of a clutch pedal clevis pin that isn't floppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questsale Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesnt the major wear occur in the pedal itself? My clevis pin wasnt so bad, but the clutch pedal had worn into an oval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squrlsquash Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 its certainly part of the problem, but the pin and master cylinder are the easiest worn parts to change. fixing the pedal issue would mean drilling an upsized hole through the pedal arm and clutch cylinder- then using a larger clevis pina kit which i am working on logistics for. it would require you to send me your clutch pedal assembly - i would drill the pedal, install a new clutch master (or re-use yours if you want), then make the upsized pin to fit it. If there is interest in such a service i will make it happen - perhaps solving floppy clutches once and for all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squrlsquash Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) First two are sent!more ready to go p.s.

tankbob Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I definetly interested in getting a new clevis pin after replacing my master/slave not too long ago. My clevis pin is worn like the stock one you posted but the pedal is also worn out oval shaped, will this new pin be of any benefit there?

Squrlsquash Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 My clevis pin is worn like the stock one you posted but the pedal is also worn out oval shaped, will this new pin be of any benefit there? The new pin will only take away the slop created by the worn out pin- if the pin is worn the same as the pedal, then it would get rid of the pin's half of the slop. It seems there is interest in a more permanent solution, so i will make more stock replacement pins, as well as the larger size upgrade. Need the parts to test- will buy a pedal assembly if anyone has an extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squrlsquash Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) I mocked up the process on my nissan's clutch pedal + master cylinder http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag24/Squrlsquash/IMG_8031_zpsda2e0f57.jpg pretend the little one is our stock pinhttp://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag24/Squrlsquash/IMG_8035_zps430bee23.jpg Drill the pedal 1 size up for new pinhttp://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag24/Squrlsquash/IMG_8037_zps24a67ee5.jpg Then drill and size up the master cylinder armhttp://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag24/Squrlsquash/IMG_8039_zps19c58816.jpg I think the best way is to send me the pedal without a clutch master cylinder and I will modify a new cylinder & your pedal, then ship it back dry so there are no brake fluid leaks en route Any issues with including an Exedy oem replacement cylinder? Are there other ones that work better?Let me know what clutch master cylinder you would want in this kit. Just finished finals, have the time to make this happen right now if there is interest.ThanksAaron Edited December 10, 2014 by Squrlsquash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim_C. Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I've seen an '84 year car that ran a race clutch for only a few races in '85. The pedal was worn oval, but the pin was fine. It seems to me that just drilling the pedal isn't enough. It needs a strong bushing to make it last.Most of us have stiff clutches that need something stronger than a cast pedal.

Squrlsquash Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 If you look at the pics i posted of my nissan's clutch pedal, there is a metal sleeve that is pressed into the hole through the pedal armlooking into that for our pedal- part of the modification fix i'm working on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squrlsquash Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 6 stock replacement pins ready to go ($10 each) I have 1 upsized pin made, cant test fit without a pedal. seems there is plenty of meat to drill out on the master and the pedal itself. I may try to find a standard size thats less of an extreme difference than one size up metric- but then it depends how far you need to drill to get rid of ovaled holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(maybe a 1/2" will work, bearing looks adjustable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
