Squrlsquash Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) The linked bearing is 12mm in length, and has no flange (will fall out)also, only lists OD, ID not listed Need to find one with a 12mm (or 11mm) OD and a 10mm ID so the stock pin size can be kept, with a flange, and a length of 3-5 mmIt has to be short enough to put one through the pedal, and have one in each side of the clutch masterI welcome help finding such a part, since I've had no luck thus far. In the meantime, i have stock replacements that are polished hardened steel, which will get rid of some slop and prevent further wear.still $10 each --(a pin you will need to replace even if you decide to upgrade with bearings)-- I also have upsized pins that require drilling to M12 through the pedal and clutch master.Having a pin with a hardened, machined, and polished surface should take care of most of the wear issuesUpsized pins are $15 each (parts to make are more expensive) Ordering info in the first post Edited December 12, 2014 by Squrlsquash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questsale Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 that one was just an example of what can be used, and sold as a kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squrlsquash Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 issue is finding the part for the job - ive come up with nothing closer after hours of searching onlineis the consensus that the majority is only interested if the bearing route is pursued?

psu_Crash Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I think the pin is great!It just doesn't address the problem of the holes in the master and pedal getting egged out.Something like this Machined down to a little more than the width of the master and the arm drilled to a press pit for themhttp://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-sleeve-bearings/=v0rpj1Another sleeve pressed in the clutch pedal like this guy.http://www.mcmaster.com/#6679k14/=v0rshn Then use your pin in it. When a bushing starts to wear you can just replace it. That is what I have planned to do for years.Other projects just seem more important ... all the time lol I have hunted around for bearings before too and it's tough to find something with a workable OD unless you go with a needle bearing and then use a smaller pin.Taking too much material out of the clutch arm could make it weak and possibly bend/break so the best bet may be to go with a smaller pin. Say 8mm and then you wouldn't have to take so much material off the pedal arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squrlsquash Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 M11 might not be enough to get rid of the "egged" holes, 1 or 2 mm wont make a difference, pedal has plenty of meat I'll hit up my machine hardware shop this week, searching online is fruitless if you don't know exactly what to search for I will find or order a bunch of bearings to figure out something that works-a spare clutch pedal + clutch master would be great if someone's got one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squrlsquash Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 found one that will workjust ordered a bunch to test them out bearings on the way gentlemen, only have to drill to M12 and will retain stock m10 pin size lets make this happen so sloppy clutches are a thing of the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squrlsquash Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) A note from the producer: I know this bearing will still have the clutch pedal and master on the same rotating surface but it is a replaceable sleeve,This bearing should take the abuse and be easily replaced. I will order some flanged bearings, cut them short, and have the flange against the clutch pedal and pointed outwards on each side of the master, so each component is rotating with its own bearing against the pin. however, the sleeve pin will have to be cut short enough to fit between the two, i see many hours cutting these things with a hobby saw in my future. I need to make some sales before any further development, (this batch of bearings cost me $30... small batches are WAY more expensive than buying by the 1000's) Even with the later developed product, the same pin will be used (swap to my stock pin now and be ready to updrill + get rid of slop for good later!)the same M12 OD will be used (upgrade with the current sleeve bearing setup now and be ready to upgrade to a setup with a bearing on each arm. Point is- i need to know if there's interest or not, so put your money where your mouth is, and vote with your cashI need to recoup losses before spending more to continue improvements Thanks for your interest, suggestions, and patronage.-Aaron Edited December 18, 2014 by Squrlsquash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Cary Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I definitley need one of those. Is this something that is going to take a while to make or are they in stock at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squrlsquash Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 In stock ready to go, specify what you want in the paypal note along with your name & address Tell your friends! sloppy clutches is bad clutches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questsale Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I would include a drill bit, if it needs to be pressed in, it would need to be a metric drill bit, and those are difficult to find. If you can buy a few in bulk, I would pay extra for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squrlsquash Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 the sleeve bearings work great, but dont allow rotation on the outside.which means they work but only for pressing into each component individually easiest way to make this work is to drill the pedal to m12 (i have a bulk of m12 drill bits now) press/hammer in sleeve bearing (once i cut them in half)then drill the clutch master cylinder and place a flanged bearing through each side once i have the flanged bearings i will post pics of how it works- this will fix the problem entirely, no wear on anything but the bearing and the pin.bearing is graphite coated and oil impregnated (on the inside), and my pins are machined smooth. one time fix that wont need parts replaced. stock replacements still on sale + used with the bearing setupsstay tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be down for a set. I attempted to do this a while ago with that same bearing, but never started, so a kit will get me motivated.

Squrlsquash Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Flanged bearings have arrivedonly waiting on a clutch pedal for testing, then finishing touches As of now, the DIY kit will include 12.9 grade polished clevis pin- with clip pin m12 drill bit 3 bearings- one for the pedal arm, two for the clutch master cylinder The Mail-In option is to remove your clutch pedal + clutch master cylinder and send them to meit will return with the pin, bearings, and a brand new (or rebuilt) clutch master cylinder Once test fitting is complete I will determine the prices for each optionStay tuned P.S.Pressed a bearing through some steel i had, pin fits like a glove, no slop whatsoever. Inside of the bearing is graphite lined, the polished pin spins effortlessly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squrlsquash Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) The Day Has Finally Come!The Kit is Completed!
