Does anyone know for certain if the roll pins in the bronze bushing kits are any good or not? I read some time ago that they were having quality problems.
Maybe more helpful would be if someone has a pic of the Porsche roll pin vs. the Weltmeister pin. Any obvious differences? |

We are talking about a pin about 3/16" diameter, that holds the clutch pedal to the rod that goes through the pedal cluster which has an arm on it that pulls the clutch pedal. The pin needs to withstand a few hundred pounds of shear force.. aluminum or brass isn't going to do it. A roll pin is nice as it holds itself in place, and the factory steel one does the job just fine. You could substutute a tight fitting piece of an appropriately sized drill bit, but then you would have to devise a way to hold it in place. Something like that may be necessary for some sort opf mega-clutch with insane pedal force, but not for anything near stock. |
