evolution taking place...

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

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 pin

a 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

First two are sent!

more ready to go

 

 

 

p.s. Anyone have an extra clutch pedal -or- blown clutch master cylinders?

I'm thinking about an exchange program where i up-size the holes on the pedal arm - need to test it.

 

let me know what you've got - and if this is a service you would want

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?

Someone please send him these parts, someone has to have this stuff laying around from a part out. Great work so far, keep it up. I'll be checking both of mine for this wear and probably buying 2

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

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 pin

http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag24/Squrlsquash/IMG_8035_zps430bee23.jpg

 

Drill the pedal 1 size up for new pin

http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag24/Squrlsquash/IMG_8037_zps24a67ee5.jpg

 

Then drill and size up the master cylinder arm

http://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.

Thanks

Aaron

Can I buy the larger pin and drill that myself?

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.

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

I would be down if you make a larger size clevis pin that can be used with an off the shelf teflon coated bearing that could be pressed in.

You can even sell the entire kit, just add 12mm drill bit. (maybe a 1/2" will work, bearing looks adjustable)
