Where to buy just the Bushes for Clutch Pedal Cable Bracket?

**asimplelife** · 01-12-2022, 06:00 PM

I have been dumb enough to lose 1 bush.
While getting around to doing my manual conversion.
Rare Spares sell the Bracket and Bushes, but look to be out of stock?
I am told Ford no longer stocks the bushes?
I need to get on the phone tomorrow, but was wondering if there might be any other suppliers out there?
Thankyou.

how did you go with it?.

I hope to have an answer tomorrow. I'll post my meanderings then.

Sorry I haven't got any good news.
But I'll document what I found.

They are officially called a "Clutch Pedal Clevis Bushing" in the ws manual.
Ford no longer stock the metal clevis or the rubber bushing.

Rare Spares used to sell a kit with both.
They no longer supply the kit. They say BayFord stopped supplying them with the metal clevis.
However they did say they have the rubber bushing as a separate item and they are on order with no ETA. That was all they would say. I assume that means they have a make/import being organised?

GWP Grant Walker Parts via via SRP Smart Replacement Parts still sell the metal clevis but not the bushes.
There are some other B series bushes on their website that looked like they could be made to fit from a picture. But SRP did not seem enthusiastic about that.

It was suggested Repco could have them but while they have a section for "Clevis" they was nothing for an AU or similar. I might have had a better chance if I'd got someone more experienced?

I also called Bursons but no luck there.

I was also advised the bushings should be available on Ebay but I cannot find them.
There are metal clevises still available.

I was fortunate, because my mechanic happened to find a spare one in a draw, which was all I needed for the one I had lost while moving.
Because I just can't make any time to work on my AU's (separate to the fact I haven't got a garage or many mechanical skills), I have paid my mechanic to do my manual conversion for me.

From what I read on the forums, these can wear over time, so it would be good to find a supply.
Maybe I need to work out how to do my own 3D printing for things like this.

Yes definitely an AU.
All the T5 gearbox I have is likely from an E series.
This Rare Spares web page says from XC to AU Falcons.
I had thought maybe the early BA's with the T5 could have been the same too, but I don't see that mentioned anywhere.

It seems surprising there is nothing being made already.
Perhaps there is an easy may to knock up a substitute?

I also meant to mention, I was advised to check some Transmission specialists as they may know what the alternative is.

The BA used an hydraulic release bearing, so no yoke or bushing.

Rare spares got them up now as a kit. Been watching out for them for awhile.

Thanks very much for posting back. Have already been down and bought a couple..apologies for being greedy...just to cover myself for the next 2 decades...still 2 left at Bayswater VIC.

I asked if they sold just the Bushings separately and the answer was no, it is not listed.
Although last time I spoke to them on the phone they said they were a separate item, but out of stock.
Just for the record here, this item can be used in;
"Ford Clutch Pedal Cable Bracket & Bushes XC XD XE XF EA EB ED EF EL AU Falcon"
Ford workshop manual description;
"Clutch Pedal Clevis and Bushings"
