I haven't posted to the list in quite a while, but here it goes....
I am slowly rebuilding a MKI GT6. Right now I'm cleaning and reinstalling
the brake and clutch pedal assemblies. Here's my problem - the hole in
the brake pedal lever arm, the one that the clevis pin fits into to attach
the brake M/C pushrod, is worn oval. I figure I can do one of three things:
I can use a welder to completely fill the hole, then grind the fill flat
and redrill. Or I can drill the hole larger and braze in a 5/16" i.d.
bronze bushing. I found a shouldered bushing that will work nicely, but my
concern is that I'll need to drill out a significant amount of metal from
the pedal arm to make it fit, leaving only about 1/8" of material around
the outer edge of the pedal arm. Is this enough? And how well will the
braze hold? The last option is to just find a new (used) pedal. Has
anyone out there solved this problem before? Any
solutions/anecdotes/comments will be appreciated.
Thanks
