George---Have the machinist find the center or the original hole in the pedal
arm and bore it out to accept a 7/16x5/16 inch bushing. As you said, then all
that will be required is pushing out the worn bushing and squeezing in the
new. Next time!

An oval in the push rod is harder to fix. Don't know of any parts supplier
that will sell you a new rod, unless you spring for a whole new MC.  You you
want, you can cut the thru the length of the pushrod, add an eigth inch to it,
and braze it back together. This will compensate for the loss of length due to
wear. Not really necessary, but do-able.

Dick
