Hey All,
I just turned out some bronze brake and clutch pedal bushings for myself and another FABO member. I did post a bit of this in an older thread, but I thought you all might find the process interesting so I'm starting a new thread for it. These bushings are a massive upgrade compared to the plastic mopar originals and will last the life of the car. They give a wonderful smooth pedal feel too!
Normally I would chuck up some bronze bar and have at it. In this case since I wanted to make more than one set (and if there is a market for them, more in the future) so I decided to make a few mandrels that would make work holding and repeatability easier. This necessitated cutting the bronze up into bushing length stubs and reaming (in the case of the clutch bushing) or boring (in the case of the brake bushing) the correct ID.
Finished bushings pictured 1st
