Clutch pedal to rod lever---can you get new ?

Howdy,

Does anyone know if you can get new the small lever that connects
clutch pedal to linkage rod ? Know that it could be fixed with
weld & redrill, but would like to find a new one if possible. Can't get
them from dealer or mail order places I know of. Thanks much. JR

Heim Joint it!

Mine was worn to the point that it was sticking, so recognizing that the stock set-up was really too simple and for a few more dollars, I decided to get some heim joints, rod, and fabbed one up. I bought joints with grease fittings as well. This set-up works great, doesn't require welding and re-drilling, and I did the same for the adjustment rod, so eventhought the equalizer bar is worn, the way that the heims (with studs) mount, it is a moot point.

That's a good idea. I've been trying to come up with a better setup than factory. Where did you get your joints? Did you use threaded rod between the joints or pipe or what? Pics would be great if you have some...

I threaded the original rod and used heim joints. I bought them from a bearing supply.
