Chevette Accelerator Flange/Support Bushing

I developed a two-part bushing to attach to the original flange/support of the Chevrolet Chevette accelerator pedal.

With wear of the original flange or even the iron shaft, the accelerator pedal ends up having play. Since I couldn't find a new part to buy, I ended up developing several types of bushings to use between the shaft and the flange. Depending on how much wear there was, the wear wasn't uniform, and none of them worked well. I ended up making this new piece to fit into the existing space inside the flange, thus increasing contact with the shaft and eliminating all existing play.

For me, it worked very well for the purpose; the pedal became firm, and I didn't need to make any adaptations for installation. Just disassemble, apply the bushing, and reinstall.

In my case, the accelerator already uses a cable and not a rod, so one of the bushings covers the flange's output hole, which is not used. If the hole is needed, I think the bushing can be split in two.

I used PETG applying brim for adhesion to the print bed.
