I'm ok w/ sintered bronze bushings; they last a good while if shaft/hole decent.
Sometimes I have to drill out to 1/2" to get a round hole and build up rod w/ weld.

For overkill I like roller bearings at clutch pedal and heim joints for linkages.

Simple linkage can be made from carriage bolt, round bar stock, all thread, etc.

now that is a great solution to the clutch rod problem....for both rods it would smooth up a lot of drag....thanks for posting....
