I paid a visit to the engineering company today. They are cracking in with the plastic pedal bushes.

And next week they will be finished!
Please get in touch if you need one. Don't just wrap it in tape. Use the right part!

The original parts were mass produced, moulded Nylon. These new bushes are CNC machined Acetal. A modern plastic, much stronger than Nylon.

The originals were obviously moulded and not mounded! Bloody spellcheck!
Mods please correct that pretty please!

This is brilliant, the originals were indeed moulded, but the machining ability's we have now
make so much possible.
You are pushing the limits doing stuff, and I really hope all this effort goes well ;-)up

Thanks Peter. Im a stay at home dad that desperately doesn't want to go back in to teaching when my kids have grown up. So this needs to work!!
Now in stock!

Apologies, Acetal is not stronger than Nylon but it have the properties needed for this application!
Can I interest anyone else?!
Fitted one of Mathew`s spacers... Here is comparison between new & old. (The old bush is in fair condition which is unusual).
