I have a 1981 Vette in which I need to replace the clutch pedal. The end of the pin whjere the clutch rod attaches broke off.
The 1980-1981 pedals are discontinued and difficult to find.
There is the 1979 and earlier pedal available which has a larger footpad area. I am not sure if it is otherwise mechanically the same.
Does anyone out there know if I can interchange a 1979 clutch pedal for a 1981???
Any info appreciated.

Vette(s): 1978 vette with an 80-82 stlye rear end molded in. BW six speed & an L82... for now. Lowered with VBP springs and bilsteins. Polished torq thrust wheels. New paint, audio system, aluminum radiator... Flowmaster and extreme flow exhaust components.
Forgive me if I don't understand your situation but can't you just replace the pin and not the whole pedal? If the actual pedal is damaged I have a brake/clutch pedal assembly from a '70 in my room. I would be happy to take measurements of it for you so that you can match up the pedals, just let me know.

Thanks for the reply. I was able to find a 1981 pedal assembly complete with pad for about US$80 recently.
Actually the pin is swaged to the shaft, so it would be rather difficult to replace only the pin.
This will be much better than my safety wired assembly that I am currently using!!
Thanks anyway!
