Two new products finished in one week... whew 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" 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. smilie_pokal.gif

those look great eric!!! no more crappy respray black to peel off. i'll check the link now. the cost is more than acceptable imho. i'm sure my extra pedal assembly is in the same box that my fog lights that i can't find are in. fantastic product.

NICE! smilie_pokal.gif My monitor is not the best, are the pedals yellowish, or silver? If silver, I may have to get a set.
Eric_Shea
They are clear zinc which is "Silver" The springs and arms are yellow zinc which is "gold".

Thanks guys wink.gif
rhodyguy
see what your plater would charge for windshield and sail panel trim. the silver finnish would be a no brainer if it held up.

Aluminum doesn't plate. They'll polish it for you. biggrin.gif
Jeroen
these look even better than powdercoated ones!
excellent

PS... do you use the factory rollpins for the clutch pedal?
Eric_Shea
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. smash.gif

There are no weak links. wink.gif

They're the perfect match for one of Mark's (work of art) pedal boards beerchug.gif

They are a Spirol pin from Spirol Industries - had a place on my new lawn mower design that I had to use them. Tough stuff.
Do a Google on Spirol Industires. I use the english versions - I am sure they have them in metric as well.

Very, very nice. smile.gif

Yes... I'm a pedal porner -or- is that a porn peddler blink.gif

Looks like this set is sold and I should have some more cores out of the deal. Buy all you want, we'll make more.

With the Bronze bushings and the Mobil1 synthetic, these things are smooth as silk.

(Any more cores out there? Interest has been very high on these.)

Sweet.
Eric I was about to ship you the clusters we spoke of but pulling one out of the parts car found it had aready been updated! rolleyes.gif So Im pulling another one from another parts car I aquired and youll see them soon.
Eric_Shea
Much appreciated.

Four went just like that. I have a feeling I'll be needing even more cores blink.gif
