Repairs and modifications to Pedal assembly and rat trap

I don't want any cable or hydraulic systems just the Rat trap version.
Firstly where the pull rod bracket runs on this pin, it has worn a groove. (how to fix?) Can you get new pins or weld and file?

Then the main shaft is worn where the clutch pedal runs. Can you get new shafts or weld and file, or grind off end weld, remove shaft, weld worn section then finish in lathe? Is that end weld factory? (doesn't look it) The holes through the clutch pedal are enlarged so there is slop on the shaft.

Now those are just repairs, my modification is to fit a tube through the clutch pedal like the main bracket has a tube therefore spreading the load on the plastic bushs. Anyone see an issue with this?
I haven't checked the Rat trap yet but know they get sloppy too, so if you have some mods or fixes please let me know.
Also if there any other threads with other ideas please link them.
Cheers
Marty

Almost finished my mod and very happy with results so far.
Machined up a bit of tube and drilled the hole in the clutch pedal larger.

Won't know if this will work until two years time but i'm feeling confident.

Do they sell the rivet thingy or clutch adjusting nut?
Or do I have to make, sort of part that is neon impossible to find second hand without wear.
Cheer
Marty.

The rivet thing was never sold separately. They only came as part of the relay lever assy.
I modified a bolt to replace the rivet thing then zapped it with a bit of weld to hold it in.
The clutch pushrod nut could either be built up with weld and machined or have a complete new part made.
