Throttle Bushing Repair Alternative

The only thing you have to do under the dash is remove the cotter and put the shaft back in after grinding the hole.

These are the parts I used, missing but included in the list are the flat and lock washers for the clamp bolt. I drilled the bushings and lock collar with a 25/64 drill. I also used a Dremmel tool to grind the bushing holes so the bushings would slip in.

For the washer on the passenger side I used a washer slightly smaller than the washer. I used a 1/4 inch washer drilled with a 25/64 drill and ground slightly to size. Picture is before altering the washer.

Then I slipped a bushing and lock collar on the shaft for the driver side. Notice this bushing is left the original length.

Next I slid the bushing and collar over and into the bushing hole on the drivers side.

Then I mounted the arm, washer, spring, washer, bushing, small diameter washer, and cotter. The cotter I crimped so it was inside the diameter of the washer. On this side I ground the bushing length to fit leaving about 3/16".

Then, with the shaft against the passenger side I moved the locking collar and bushing against the drivers side and tightened the collar. Only thing left is to adjust the arm.
