I know you said you don't weld but a good welder can make that pedal
as good as new in no time at all. The push rod could also be done but I
would suggest a new one instead. Don't know about this car but I would
look for a circlip to get out the push rod.
I agree with the previous poster, this is not where you want to mickey
mouse it.
