I have my pedal assembly (clutch & brake) out of the car to inspect for worn out parts. There are plastic bushings in the cross shaft for the clutch pedal shaft that I'd like to replace with bronze bushings. The now defunct Taboo Speed Shop used to sell these in a repair kit. I can't find any other vendors that sell them. Does anyone know where I can find metric bronze bearings/bushings locally? Hardware stores have SAE bushings but not metric.

Thanks.

I know its not ideal, but you could just replace with new plastic bushings from Mitsu; they'll probably last longer than the rest of the car :)

I ordered a plastic bushing today in case I can't find bronze. It's pretty sloppy and the plastic bushing doesn't look worn much at all.

I was able to get a bronze bushing for the lever where the clevis and pushrod attach. It took a little massaging but I got it to fit.

couldnt you get a smaller standard size, and grind it slightly larger?
