I did a lot of trial fits, because there were some clearance problems -- it's a much bigger hub. Finally after grinding clearance where needed, I cut the old hub off of the old brake pedal and welded the pedal and arm to the new hub.
Pics of the repair or it didn't happen!
The flat area on the left side is the wall of the key slot. The crumbled section is the cast iron hat was holding the hub together.
What I ended up with:
The stamped part on the outboard end is the control horn for a brake rod. It's pressed on the shaft, so no way to slide on a re-welded hub. The new hub is a cap type with two retaining bolts threaded into the hub and going in opposite directions. The hub is slotted internally for a key and the bore is a close fit to the clutch throw-out sleeve, which rotates on the brake shaft, then the hub was split on the band saw. I used a rusty old chunk of steel from the scrap box -- don't know what kind it was but it was slow machining.
