Hey guys,
Could really use some advice. Had a little problem trying to reassemble the clutch arm to the pedal shaft assembly on Porkchop (my '52 M38A1). I've described the issue and included pictures for easier understanding on my ongoing blog http://jmetz.com/2014/04/25/willys-jeep-porkchops-clutch-arm-problem/.

That is called a woodruff key.
It is not intended to shear but just hold things in place & alignment plus rotate with the shaft that the pedal becomes part of when everything is assembled properly.
When you tighten the bottom pedal clamping bolt that is what locks everything in place.
No other locking material etc. is needed. _________________ John GIBBINS
