Clutch Pedal Pushrod

Anyone know where one of these can be purchased? I'm speaking of the adjustment pushrod connected to the clutch pedal which goes into the the MC.

I only found one other post with this same problem, and it had little info to offer. I've bent that little rod and now my MC is leaking a bit, can't drive the car either.

Anything I can get at like an autoparts store to make due until I locate the correct part?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies.

Well, about the bracket. Tomorrow I'm going to remove the assembly and have it welded (should have taken this seriously given all the threads about the issue).

Then I ordered the part from the dealer (Part number: F151-41-131 Series 1) which will arrive on Wednesday. Driveable car by Thursday hopefully.

Please, take it from the college student who thought he was an exemption, "It happened to a lot of people I don't know who post about it online, but it's not like it's gonna happen to me..." I had that mentality.

So the bracket itself is okay, I think,...but I still got a clutch pedal problem. So be careful with it. This pushrod bent upward and sort of stretched a rubber seal on the MC. It leaked a little. Hopefully not too much damage was done.

thanks again

If the bracket is OK then how did the pushrod get bent?
