Accelerator pedal pivot bushing

[craigwalton]

The bushings on my Mk2 Scirocco accelerator pedal seem to be pretty worn as there is a bit of lateral play in the pedal. These seem to be part number 823721543 according to ETKA. But I’m having a hard time sourcing any from the usual places.

Does anyone know where I might source a couple of new ones? If not, I wonder if some generic nylon bushing might fit. Any other ideas welcome!

Note: this is not the grommet which the cable attaches to - it’s the pivot for the pedal itself. Thanks!

Looks like they are running out. Ebay item no 196430044194 is probably your best bet - 3 left in stock

Thank you!! I've ordered those.

I took the old ones out to measure up to see if I could find an off the shelf flanged bush. For others' reference, it is roughly 8mm ID (well, I measured 8.2 but they're worn), 12mm OD, 18.2mm flange diameter. Couldn't find anything close.

I can still get these in the Netherlands.

if your struggling i may be able to make some on the lathe as i have a little bit of nylon bar somewhere

Thanks for all the offers and links! Ended up buying the ones from eBay which did the trick. Turns out even with new ones, there’s still a fair bit of play in the pedal, albeit less than there was.
