MCOR linkage repair kit?

Hey guys and gals! Haven't been on in a while, but things have been going well with my fleet of carts aside from occasional flat tires. Hope everyone here is doing well!

Anyway onto my question of the day:
2002 DS with the MCOR has play between the pedal and the rod that turns the MCOR. I thought I saw a kit that would repair this offered by a company some time ago, but can't seem to find it now. Anybody remember/ used/ know of such a thing?

The kit consisted of a couple new bushings and I'm pretty sure an adjustable linkage/rod where it attaches to the pedal.

The pedal bushings on this cart don't have much if any play in them, but it does have a TON of slop between the pedal and the MCOR rod. No noticeable play in the end of the rod that goes into the MCOR.
I talked to my local cart guy and he said they usually replace all of the pedal bushings and the rod AND pedal... which gets kind of costly. If that's the only solution... I think I can come up with something simpler and quicker. A zip tie is currently employed with filling the gap between the pedal and the rod, but that's a short term solution.

I asked this of one of the best Club Car gurus on this site, David Hicks at Revolution Golf Cars, about this very problem just 2 weeks ago and got this fix. It worked perfect.

Pull off the MCOR, pull the shaft and on the forward stub on the opposite end of the MCOR, place a piece of 1/4" fuel hose over the stub sticking out and then reinstall. I have a programmer and saw my throttle range go from 87% to 99% max. Big difference in performance.

Thanks! That's actually one option I was considering! Just wasn't sure how long it would hold up. Mr. Hicks, helpful as always!
My other idea was a bronze bushing or steel sleeve of just the right size. Stick it on with some RTV to help glue it in place.

It holds up surprisingly well. Another option that I've done before that seems to be a little more permanent..... Take the drive bar off and put it in a vise. Get a pair of big Channel Lock pliers and apply gentle pressure on the tabs that fit over the pedal as if you were trying to squeeze them inward towards each other. Apply heat with a propane torch. As it heats up, increase the pressure of the pliers and bend them inward. This has worked very well for me in the past as it closes the gap and reduces the slop. Don't do it without heat. They'll break.

I was able to slide a piece of fuel hose onto the shaft without removing it.
