I looked in McMaster-Carr, they don't list the size I'm interested in. Looking for 1-1/16 OD and 15/16 or 7/8 ID.
Can anyone recommend someone else? Google search finds lots of bearing manufacturers, but they generally don't sell small quantities to end consumers.

Auto parts stores? Sounds close to sizes used for kingpins. They'll probably be Oilite type.
Huh?
Page 1003 of Cat 110:
That's about the only OD they don't have. Try crossing over a metric size.
Application is a brake pedal on a '75 Jeep DJ. The brake pedal wobbles side to side almost a 1-1/2". The cast brake pedal arm rides on a 1" steel shaft. There is currently no bushing there at all. Just metal on metal, but at least it does have zerk fittings. I figured I could turn the shaft down to
15/16" and bore out the pedal to 1-1/16". Can't go any more than that, not too much material there as it is.
Buy your od size with a smaller id and ream/drill it out rentapen
That is an idea. I also talked with someone yesterday that suggested to braze up the ID of the pedal, and ream it to size and make a new pivot shaft from 1" material. I think I'm going to try this. Thanks to all for their suggestions.

did i miss something (on the dimensioning)?? aren't you actually looking for .063 shim stock??? thnx,
It is cast iron. I will preheat and cool slowly.
Are you sure there's no bushing in there? Some of the online jeep stores talk about a bushing.
I'd kind of expect the brake arm to be a weldment, not an iron casting. Of course you have the part to look at, and I don't.
I wonder how much a junkyard would want for one
I am absolutely positive on both questions. This is a DJ model, not a CJ.
