Project “Ghost Duster”, 1970 Duster Corner Carver
After tearing the assembly apart, I did the Herb McCandless clutch pedal ratio mod and added about .625” to the pedal arm length as seen in this pic from Mopar muscle.
Then I made up a couple mandrels in order to make some bronze bushings to replace the factory plastic pedal bushings. I found some existing bushings where the ID was correct for the smaller ones and cut them to length, then turned the OD to the correct size on a lathe, as well as the outer lip thickness and diameter. The larger ones I had to machine the ID to size and then use the mandrel for the OD.
