Spent an hour or so on the lathe making a new one out of HDPE on the lathe. Screwed up the first one. I had to make it from sheet stock because there wasn't any round stuff. Eh, it works great though- much less sloppiness in the pedal now. I imagine that it will be 100% if I can ever figure out the correct way to get the rest of those linkages to the right lengths and tensions.

Just thought I'd update with my solution, an HDPE replacement made on the lathe. It's not perfect, it's generous in all dimensions, and it was annoying to make out of sheet stock, but it works.

Pulled out to show new bushing. http://www.botmedia.vrogy.com/ned/benz/300D_11.JPG

I am going to put a shaft collar on the end of it to keep it from being pulled out at all. I hope that shaft is 8mm- I just happen to have an 8mm shaft collar.
