I'll take a look again, but I couldn't find any kind of clip holding the banjo in.
The new banjo eyelet hole was plenty big to fit over the pin, but the plastic bushing was just slightly too small to fit over it... can I get a bushing that will fit on its own?------------------

If you can wait a couple days, you should contact Rodney and see if he'll swap an early style banjo for the one on yours (which you should send back to him), so that you can keep the adjustable banjo (it's worth it), and have it fit correctly in your car.
And offer to pay the small amount in shipping to send the new one, and to send the one off your new master back. |

Plastic? Rodney's adjustable banjo (and the new master) comes with a brass bushing.

Well, the new one I got came from O'Reilly's... probably not the best source. Sounds like I need to give Rodney a call! ------------------

There are two theories that come into play when dealing with Rodney:
1.People will buy parts he carry from other vendors and then complain cause they didn't purchase from him.
2.People will buy from Rodney and be happy as hell and will post how there parts are better than expected.
p.s. you then become a R/D cheerleader

Oh, I thought you'd gotten the one from Rodney. Don't know about quality of the ones from O'Reilly's, but have heard generally bad things about the ~$20-30 cast iron ones from parts stores going bad and rusting early. The aluminum master from Rodney though is great though, and the adjustable banjo makes installing and bleeding much easier to do.

Yeah there was a clip on my 86 to hold the banjo in place.

What's odd is that the pin on my clutch pedal has a lip on it and looks different from the ones pictured on rodney's site. There isn't a hole for a retaining pin or cotter pin. I'm not sure what the correct bushing for it is, but the one that was on there already was plastic with 4 little tabs sticking out. ------------------

Here's a pic of what the pin on my clutch looks like, and the plastic bushings. One slightly smaller than the other, though only slightly:
