Rather than replacing the clevis, due to the ovalling of the holes, could the clevis be machined, not drilled, to press fit a bronze bushing or even better a small roller bearing? I assume it would require 4 altogether, never having seen the particular clevises in question.

I did something like this with my 65 jeep cj5. The cluth was operated mechanicaly by a series of
rods-bent at the ends and just shoved thru a drilled holes with no accomodation for lubrication or adjustment. I rigged up a new set up, much like a bell crank, with a step down bushing I got at a plumbing supply house and some pipe. I added a zerk fitting to the main shaft and it all worked perfectly. One of my prouder moments.
