Hello all,
 
    What I have found is that the hole in the brake  petal also wears oblong. 
What I did was to remove the brake petal (oh my aching  back), weld the hole 
closed and re drill it. Drilling it oversized for a bushing  or bearing would 
work also. I just figured that the original pin and hole had  lasted thirty 
years so the benefit of getting fancy was minimal.

Some  time back there was a thread about clutch problems that were caused by
wear  in the connection between the clutch pedal and the U fitting that
connects  the master cylinder piston to the clutch pedal.  I took a look
before  I drug out the engine hoist and unbolted the tranny to lift the
engine out,  which I think you can do with an L16 engine/tranny combo.  It
turns  out that the free play I had in the pedal was all movement around the
pin  connecting the master cylinder to the clutch pedal.  Closer  inspection
found that it was holes in the MC adapter that were very  worn.
