I'm running short on time, and need my cluster re-built.

Is there anyone that rebuilds these? I think the springs are fine, but I'd like to put brass bushings in it, and make her pretty again. I saw that Pelican has a service, but I'm SURE thee is someone here that can get it done too...

I also need a new accel pedal.

Anyone....anyone...???

I *think* Martin Baker does them...
Did you check the "parts and resources" forum?

Yup...I checked...but didn't see anything. Only thing under 'pedal' or 'cluster' was Engman's pedal kit....yet ANOTHER thing from him I need to buy!

bruce stone rebuilt a set for me, found him on e-bay actually.

they are concours quality IMO, beautiful.

his email is :

I have rebuilt several of them. Not too sure of the cost at this point, but I could look into it. I was not a fan of the brass bushings, I found them loose. Maybe they have improved in the last twenty years.

Yes, Martin Baker rebuilds the pedal clusters among other things. Does a really nice job on them too.

I do them for $100.00 plus shipping. It will look better than new.

See, I told you!!

Martin, the package went out around noon as promised, you should have it on Thursday. UPS

Martin that's beautiful! I will have to send you mine sometime in the next 6 months or so.

This is beautiful. Martin what parts do you need?

What's your address?

I will put a new thread in the resources area for the service. I removed it because a few people wanted a cluster first. I can't do it that way. I MUST have yours first. They have to be complete, and with a decent set of springs, as they are on back order thru PORSCHE at the moment.
For now, send them to:

Martin Baker
1520 Hawaii Street
Fairfield Ca. 94533

You have my promise that they won't leave here unless they are good enough for my car. That is pretty close to perfect. I am limted by what I am sent sometimes, but they will be nice, with new bronze bushings. I do have a few spare springs from some of the ones I have done, and could not use the entire assembly. You can call me at 707 208 3264, to discuss anything you might want to know about how, or what I do to your pedal assemblies.

Thanks for your interest.

sorry, this is a little off topic but...

Martin,
when you install the brass bushings do you lube them with anything? Per the instructions I got from pelican (with the brass bushing set), I lubed mine with a little bit of light weight oil. Now, every now and then, my clutch pedal still squeaks.

any ideas?

see everyone, I should have just sent my pedal to Martin (gratuitous plug)

One question:

Do you use a factory roll pin?

Martins work is incredible!

I had him do my pedal cluster a few months ago and couldn't believe it when I pulled it out of the box.

Martin,
I can make custom springs if necessary.

Email sent...I'm sold!

to add an answer to your question, Eric Shea rebuilds clusters too. He rebuilt and shipped one for me in record time. Last I knew he rebuilt them and shipped them before he recieves yours. Just don't do what I did and forget to ship your core!!!

Martin's work looks awesome. Eric's I know cuz so far I have bought a cluster and trailing arms after I sent the 911 hubs for him to install. He's also in the P & R section.

Primo craftsmanship!

As far as lube goes, yes I use a high pressure synthetic grease, not allot, but enough. This should stay there the life of the car. Its basically CV joint type grease. It won't run away if you know what I mean.

As far as the roll pin goes, I always try to reuse the original type. They are the strongest. It is more tightley rolled, which means more strength. This pin has allot of force on it, when you stop and think about it. Two small area support the entire load of the clutch springs when the pedal is depressed.

ok, so I need to take apart again and add grease. I saved the old roll pin, so I'll see if it is re-usable.

thanks all
