Hey ValiantOne,
You still making these? I'm converting my auto 68 barracuda to manual. I have a stock brake pedal and clutch pedal but need all new bushings. Let me know if you have a set... thanks,
Shane
Sweet! The clutch bushings are what I need most.. but if you have the full set I’ll take itShane, I think I may have a full set. I definitely have the clutch bushes. I'll check on the brake bushes tomorrow and let you know. Thanks!

Anytime!If you're still making these I will need some in the near future.
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.
