Wobbly pedal

[Matc88]

This may help some of you.

I just fixed my wobbly pedal. Just used an m8 nut and bolt. With a bit of ptfe tap.

The old plastic clip that held the pedal was loose, and seen a thread on another site.

Had to push the end of the clip in and push the plastic clip through the pedal, although this didnt work on mine so had to drill the plastic clip out.

Then just thread an m8 bolt through and tighten up with a nut.

Make sure the nut is not to tight as pedal won't come back up. Maybe a little bit of grease etc would help. I havent got any to hand but I will put somee on in future.

Which pedal?

 

[Matc88]

Accelerator pedal. I used a m8 bolt 70mm long.

Personally I'd have changed the clip/pedal assembly

Good luck if it sticks when you use kick down.

It's been a few days now. And the pedal is absolutely fine. No wobbles. And works as it should. All for about £1.50.

Nice one!

I used an Allen shoulder bolt and a nyloc nut, with copper grease, on both pivots on mine. Been okay for 12 months.
