I just rebuilt my pedal set and my old pin had quite a bit of wear where the spring rode. So much so that I think it was the cause of an old clunk sound as the pedal reached the very end of travel (when my foot came off).

I ordered the 1970 version from Brewers but they sent me the 1971 version instead. It worked fine. I think the 1970 bracket has a round hole but the later years used an oblong hole where the smaller end of the pin fit in.

I agree with Alan though that it hardly seems worth the effort to make one when they sell for $20.00

My clutch pedal popped and creaked going in and out which is why I first looked at the pin thinking it just needed greased. The hook end of the spring was riding up and down the groove it made on the pin every time the clutch pedal went in and out.
The new pin fixed the problem.

That's great to hear! I'm looking forward to getting it all back in so I can try it out. I was worried I might have to find some hidden problem with the rest of the linkage.

Why machine one when you can buy one for $19 ?
Alan , Where do we find this part for $19 . National Moparts lists it at 34.95 plus tax and shipping
