Two new products finished in one week... whew (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
This is one idea that started to hit me last year when I took my -6 out for a spin. The pedal went a little further than it was supposed to. It was a semi-panic stop just to see if things were working and the extra pressure did in my master cylinder. A quick check under the mats showed a dripping wet disaster area in the pedal cluster. Paint was flaking, rust was showing and I had brake fluid everywhere. To top it off, my nylon bushings were shot. Time to yank the master cylinder and pedal assembly and perform a full rebuild. This is where I began thinking, "They don't sell those Bronze Bushing sets for their health so, there must be a lot of others out there in the same boat" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) With a pedal assembly torn apart and a box of calipers ready to go to the plater, I put 2+2 together and came up with this. The price is much less than some and slightly more than others. I think it's right there in "teenerland" pricing. Click the new link at the bottom and it will take you to more info in the "Resource" section. Thanks to "everyone" for your support with the calipers and the 5-lug suspension. This site has been great to me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Attached image(s) |

Thanks Jeroen,
I wish I was a photographer. The picture doesn't do the set justice (if I may say so). The pins were one of my concerns. It looks as though they've changed the roll pins in the kits (I have an old pin left over from a previous rebuild that I didn't use because of the horror stories). I use the ones that come with the kits now. They're quad rolled and they fit "extremely" tight. 50% of the assembly time was making a jig to press in the new pin.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) They're the perfect match for one of Mark's (work of art) pedal boards (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |
