no joke mine is 1/8 inch lol...and do yourself a favor drill a hole in the pedal arm 2 inches above the stud that the rod hooks on and thru bolt the rod in the higher hole ......it will give you more pedal and has a much nicer feel...
btw i used a hardened bolt long enough to double nut it and i drilled the end for a cotter pin.......i learned the hard way !!
its not that thick, i just measured it out so i didnt have to lengthn or shorten parts i dont know if it makes a difference but mines a 95 and your 2 are 93 or later.
ok and use 2 nuts so the rod can still pivit and put a cotter pin on the end so the nut doesnt come off that makes since.but why move a better angle or something.
