If you're going to replace the pivot pin with a bolt, be sure to
use a bolt with a long enough shoulder so no threads are bearing on the
hole in the throwout arm. The threads would quickly chew up the inside
of the hole.
Another solution would be to drill a hole in the pivot pin so a
cotter pin or other type of retainer could be used. It seems to me
that many years ago I may have used the simple expedient of inserting
the pivot pin from the top of the bellhousing on my MkII, but I could
be mistaken. YMMV.
