home made parts

[split_trix]

As far as i know the spring plates on the alloy arms bolt the opposite side of the trailing arm to the steel ones.....

also the bolt pattern is different, so it may just be a case of flipping the bolting plate to the other side of the arm.... dont know just a thought

cheers

Just made this. It's a throttle pedal, 1/8" aluminum plate, bent at the black lines. I have the full size image if anyone wants to make one. Just print it out and use it for a template. I found the bushings and the spring ball pin at a local hardware store. The picture could be cleaned up by pulling it into Paint and straightening out the lines and corners, I did this by hand. The quick pull pin makes playing around with the adjustments easy. I will make a sliding lower plate later to line things up exactly where I want them for heal and toe shifting.

Could you please send me a copy of your throttle pedal design

I live in Thailand and machine work is very cheap here. While perhaps not the cheapest in Thailand, I know an American with a CNC machine shop about 50 km form here. China might be marginally cheaper, however there is the IP question, and margin for the middleman.

If there is group interest in producing a small run of parts, I am willing to coordinate it. I am retired and do not need to make my living on things like this and will do it simply for the benefit of the group at cost.

I'll get the file to you as soon as my other computer is back up, I'm hoping I won't be losing it!!! It's not a CAD file, just a 1:1 scan.

Here it is in place:

This is a scan of the printout of the original scan of the part. Unfortunately, the original scan was lost when the computer crashed, but at least I had made one printout.

It should be close to 1:1, but if it needs to be sized, keep the aspect ratio and make the width of bottom part of the pedal 4".

Thanks for the scan volkdent.

I cut this out in card board and overlaid it on my stock pedal. Looks to accommodate a 12 wide quite nicely.

Thanks again.

so does anyone else have any home mode parts? the pedal is pertty cool i like the idea.im in the proccess of making my own kafer brace. right now i have all the measurements done but im waiting on the clevis rods i ordered from jegs. does a kafer brace count as a home made part? if yes then when i'm done i will post it here.
