clutch rod lever bushing?
 

has anyone ever used a bushing where the clutch rod connects under the dash? before i hunt for the right bushing i thought to ask here. my lever is egg shaped a bit. i have a nice un-worn rod and would like to get a brass bushing to keep it from wear. any info would help

You can check Ace hardware to see if they have a bronze bushing you could make work by drilling your mount larger and using a bushing that fits the rod .:chevy:

GMC1500 4x4, I have had a machinist build up a bushing-reinforced clutch lever. I don't remember if I used it on either truck, or if its still kicking around. But it was a thing of beauty.
Grumpy, those plastic spirals go inside the lateral pivot bar inside the cab. Both the brake and clutch pedals swing on it. Re-installing them cures that ''swingset squeek'' you get on a 40+ y.o. truck. I can't figure out how to get at it however.

all fixed, drilled the lever out to 1/2'' and the bushings i got from https://www.mcmaster.com/ did the trick. reference : #2938T6 High-Load Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearing for 3/8" Shaft Diameter, SAE 863 Bronze, 1/2" OD, 1/4" Length
