Brake pedal linkage

Hey Guys,
Does this look right? The pedal just pivots on the bolt that goes through with no bushing of any sort. The spring then attaches to the body. Thanks. I've got alot of questions! Not sure if I attached the photo properly either.

It is a balance bar set up that adjusts how much front/rear braking you're getting. The threaded rod through the middle should be through a spherical bearing inside there. It looks like it is adjusted out too far with excessive sideways play and no shim washers in there. Nice Wilwood instructions on setting them up here http://www.wilwood.com/PDF/DataSheets/ds252.pdf

It looks like it might still be there to me. Is there a small dentists mirror in your toolkit? Wilwood will have them or check the sizes of ball joint swivel bearings here McMaster-Carr
