Pete,

We replaced your design with a spline at both ends in 2010.

The set screw should be pretty effective at taking out any play, but you can try a bolt (and maybe some Loctite Blue on the splines) to firm things up.

Uh-ohh, I guess I've been superceded by an update since mine was fabricated.

I can't say I remember too many examples of that bolt shearing off from the clutch pedal. I think Pete's is the only one I remember. I don't know why you would have slop in the brake pedal either.

I guess I'll try some Loctite blue on the set screw. If that doesn't work I may consider drilling and tapping another hole into the splined shaft
