My clutch pedal wobbles back and forth and really taking a good look found the mounting bracket piece is cracked. Any idea where to find a new one?

That is a common problem. You can remove it and have it repaired. Any used one you find will probably be headed in that same direction...

or worse, I had to repair mine twice in the 80's. Pull it out through the gauge cluster hole in the dash (remove gauge cluster), weld it, replace.

On my first Luv (79 4x4 in the 90's) I ended up having to weld a support bracket that went from the main bracket to the unsupported end of the pivot pin. Sort of an "L" that wrapped around the back of the pedal and made a form of truss to prevent all the torsion of the pedal being subjected to just the pin mount.

Yeah that's what I thought... I have my mechanic friend able to help with the repairs, and I think I will remove it next weekend. Thanks for the replies.
