Clutch pedal bushing and maybe brake pedal bushing

So on AKG/Turner/RE/ebay I noticed clutch pedal derlin bushings. ( Apperently they fit brake pedals too)
The motivation also to touch these is that the Ultimate Clutch Pedal kit changes the bushings along with the spring. I dont have any interest in this pedal, but I do want the bushings. However, their price of $20/set + shipping no matter if Bronze or Derlin plastic is over priced. These are also cross listed for Brake pedal bushings on e46 at least

OEM e8x e9x bushing to be replaced - we use 2 of these


So doing some digging I noticed the same Bronze/Derlin part cross listed for e46 and beyond as it is for e30. Thankfully the e30 was the year of the changeover from older bushing, while keeping the pedal part number the same!!.

So I looked up the old e30 bushing part number - 35211109541


This looks exactly like the Derlin bushing & its under $5. That's just about $10/set!!

I hope to order these monday

Brilliant bit of analysis, dang sight cheaper than the ultimate clutch pedal. If you can deal with the plastic pedal this has got to be the best deal to fix the sloppy plastic bearing as it wears, brake pedal too. Unless somebody is running a really heavy duty clutch this bearing swap ought to be all that's needed to tighten things up. Cool catch!

If its the same diameter than yes, it should work well vs the other alternatives

Right. It should be a standard ID and OD, hard to believe it'd be a custom part. If standard it ought to be available from any industrial bronze bearing supplier, assuming the length, shoulder diameter, and shoulder thickness are close enough anyway. That'd get the price down to a buck or so, I think.

The bronze links need a Metric conversion
All I have now is probably 18.1 mm in length and maybe ID of 10.5.


I ordered the e30 classic bushes and will get them in two weeks to - will measure for your benefit

I did these a year ago. If I remember correctly, the clutch pedal bushing was really easy but the brake pedal one was a pain in the butt.

Don't do any work unless you're in a somewhat heated garage. It's crazy these last couple days. -20 weather is not fun.

I have no complaints about the brake pedal but the clutch definitely has a little more wiggle than i'd prefer from side to side.

Keeping an eye on on this, thanks Andrey!

Look up e36 diy - it looks to be the same technology.

I will caliper measure the bushing this weekend. Sorry for the delay, been busy & in general away from the forum
