Went to replace my carpet and to my what did I see? A greasy, rusty pedal cluster. Decided to tackle this one myself with a little help from a friend. Disassembly was not bad at all. Even the roll pin came out easily with the help of an air chisel. Sand blasted all of the parts, etch primed and painted. I let everything dry for a week. Today started assembling everything. Used bronze bushings, but the greatist fun all day was replacing the roll pin. It took a few hours, but we wanted to take our time and get it right the first. Ended up using a press to insert it along with a drill bit (smooth end) inserted on the opposite side to keep everything aligned. In the end it was very gratifying to rebuild. Not as nice as a bstone piece , but it is clean and functional. Greatful for all of the threads in the Garage forum.
