Thanks, I’ll check it out.
sidenote:
I sourced a Suzuki clutch pedal from Suzuki Depot in Garden Grove, CA.
Turns out the foot pad (and rubber cover) of the new pedal are not the same shape as the pedal I pulled out of my Geo. The original Geo foot pad is ~30% wider at the top as compared to my new Suzuki part.
It’s hard to believe that this element would be different between Geo and Suzuki circa 1997.
It’s more likely that the design has changed over time. Makes me wonder if this pedal is still in use in somewhere in the world.
BTW:
My PO’s pedal–shaft repair was only off about 15°. Enough to make the car unusable.
After that disassembly, repair, and reassembly I can only imagine how crestfallen he must have been when he discovered that all of his effort was fruitless.
