Well, looks like we have some sort of bushings here. Beyond that I can't be of much help, but they look familiar and im also curious.

My guess would be that they are the parts required to rebuild a pedal assembly.

Pedal cluster bushing set. The roll pin is for the clutch pedal.

You may want to do a search on the cluster rebuild. I know there is one on Pelican and there must be one here.
There have been many solutions to the roll pin removal problem, cause it can be a @!%$!$@#$! sometimes.
Just dont be tempted by the 'bigger hammer' solution too fast.

Thanks for the info. I dont c any reason to replace them right now. The pedals all seem to be moving just fine.

Still, it is suspicious that you would have a peddle rebuild kit in the car if it didn't need it. Do two simple tests. Push the brake peddle down and make sure it freely returns and, pull up the carpet and look for brake fluid in the area of the peddle cluster. It will look wet. Ever notice your brake lights on when you are not pushing on the brake peddle? It could be that the PO bought the rebuild parts and then decided that just buying a rebuilt cluster from Bruce Stone was easier.

Brake pedal travel is fine, no brake fluid on the floor, and brake lights only come on when pressure is applied to brakes.

Well, this is a forum,
there aren't rules on english here, but it's best not to make people's eyes bleed when they read your post.

If you do end up re-building the pedal cluster, there's an excellent write up in the Classics by Eric Shea. I used it as reference when I did mine last week - easy peasy.

Thanks for the info. I will remember to look it up if and when I do replace them. Appreciate it.

Oh? I've never had a "fit" problem with the replacement pins. Of course, I've only been working on 914s on a regular basis for 36 years ..........................

That pin is a C shape. The stock roll pin is rolled over and over for strength. Those 'C' roll pins can shear after use and leave you stranded. Some of the kits (newer? different manufacturer?) have a rolled pin which is suitable. Yours is clearly not.
