Find a friendly local machine shop and have your parts rebuilt. The pin can be ground or turned between centers, grinding the diameter down to the diameter of the worn area. Then oversized bushings can be turned on a lathe to fit your shaft. Not hard work at all, just time consuming. You have to find a machinist who likes the work more than likes to charge a lot per hour...

A cheaper route is to go with common plumbing bushings provided by your local hardware
store. There have been a couple of threads over on the HAMB with details. Try a "search"
on that forum and I will so the same tomorrow when I have the time.

Only Co I found that even mentioned the COE is Mac's, but their one lonely bushing is specifically listed for '38 only. Looking more & more like machine shop is the avenue. Great.
Looked thru HAMB, didn't turn up anything, will search it again.

Last time I talked to James at Joblot, he mentioned that I was lucky to get my parts when I did as they were preparing to close up for good. They were an amazing outlet for the toughest parts. I miss them already!
I've searched and searched for the parts you need to rebuild your pedal assy. and have come to the conclusion they are right in there with hen's teeth. I'd bet somewhere there is a dusty box on a shelf....
Just a thought, I've found many machine shop's can be persnickety about taking on projects like yours. Because of this, I've contacted gunsmith's in the past for this kind of work and had excellent luck. Even had one build me a 1911 while he was at it
