I'm in for the GB at 220 as well as a brace.
Shipping across the boarder shouldn't be a problem. It'll just translate to an extra shipping charge.
That's correct.
Will add you to the list. We could even arrange pickup depending on where you live.
Sure thing.
Yep, those are the parts required. A minimal amount of material needs to be taken off the bushings. It could even be done by hand with fine sandpaper.
Noted.
For all of you who have expressed interest: Expect an official GB to open in the following days, at which time a new thread will be posted.

I'll watch for the group buy. Thank you for putting it togeather!
If you're going to do a group buy, how about a second option; the Mason pedal assembly with installed oilite bearings. Even better, include the spring and the two grommets; a one-stop installation kit! I'd be up for this.

Count me in.
Np.
As much as I'd like to provide the option for an all in one kit, I feel that would complicate matters on my end. I do have an additional set of IE bushings that have been modified to fit the pedal. Let me know if you'd like to claim them.
Will add you to the list
Update on bushings:
I came across a set of Garagistic brake/ clutch pedal delrin bushings (blue) I had set aside for my E30 and they fit perfectly. The UUC's required some effort to be pushed in completely whereas the garagistic bushings slide in easily. With a light coating of a PTFE/ teflon based lube, these would work great.
It appears garagistic has changed the color of these bushings to yellow, LINK

Thanks for setting this up!!!!!! The group buy should be great
Any idea when the buy will happen? I'm ready!
Just for the hell of it I ordered the spring and the two bushings from my local BMW dealer; came out about $16 plus tax, should be here tomorrow.
Count me in on group buy as well.

Are these the I.E. Olite bushing you guys are using?

Also, since I'll be in there installing this clutch pedal arm, would you guys recommend doing the brake pedal bushings?
He who is enslaved to the compass is free to sail the seas...
OK, just to clarify: as these are BMW OEM part numbers, and you say that the Z3M stock clutch needs to be replaced and fitted with a "new spring" that's "found on non-Ms"... Does that not mean that I, someone with a base model 2000 Z3 roadster, already have this spring and grommets on my stock clutch?
My bronze bushings fit easily in the Mason pedal that I just received in the second group buy. I assume they are oilite (sintered oil-impregnated bronze). Got them from Bimmerbum.com a few years ago.

My bronze bushings fit so easily that they fall out. I plan to use bearing grease inside and outside. Oilite sintered bronze is dry metal, even though it is impregnated with 30W motor oil that you can't feel. And bearing grease seems more compatible with that oil than the white lithium grease that is used with the plastic bushings.
Did you remove the seat to replace the pedal? I removed the seat and started into the bushing replacement two years ago, but gave up because I had trouble fitting and seeing upward under the dash. 200 lbs, 6'-2", old age and trifocals. Will try again now.

This is great news. One of my hesitations in switching to the Mason pedal was the use of the Z3 return spring. I've had that before on my M and it was too firm for daily driving. It was such a nuisance that I switched back. Good to know that it is possible to use the over-spring setup with the GSP pedal.
Pedal installed - greatest thing to happen to everyday motion in this car. Absolutely love it. Thank you for hosting the group buy!
