My clutch and brake lever are a bit floppy up and down. No slack in the action but like the housing where the pivot bolt goes thru is spread or something. Any fix other than the obvious?

FLOPPY??
i recomend viagra.............LOL
make a few washers out of polypropolene ( milk bottle) plastic and put the washers between the handle and the housing ,on the bolts. the poly is very thin and self lubricating, although, a little grease on assembly wouldn't hurt. use as many or as few as you need without binding.
cheap( free!!) and easy and lasts a long time. i use them all the time
