I have one here, thats getting done for free including the bushing and 2 o-rings.
If I go forward with this, I'll move it to the R and D Forum, but for now I need to know who's in or am I wasting my time because I don't even own an <85 200X. I am merely trying to find small jobs that ship cheap that provide you guys with desired results.
I have to machine your (small) side cover and remove/weld/replace the pedal pivot to accept a larger bushing and 2 orings.
This places a bushing over the aluminum that wears on the side cover, which can then be replaced i the future.
For the ultra repair, I can machine it all for a needle bearing but the bearing alone is not so cheap. It needs a hardened sleeve to roll on so I don't think many guys will jump on that bandwagon........ But, it is the ultra fix and an option.
Anyhow, if you send me your small cover and pedal I am going to try and do this for about 30-40$ with ALL new materials installed/included. It will take me well over an hour - closer to 2 hours to machine and weld in the new pedal pivot. I have jigs to build and heat to run in the shop along with grinding discs etc etc..... Just being honest!
If it gets sloppy again, it's about 5$ for all the seals and bushings (you can buy) to tighten it up again and you can do it at home with a vice and simple hand-tools.
In the past, people had to buy that small cover (I believe it is DC'd as of now) and find or buy a nice pedal in order to tighten it up.
I'm not asking anyone to commit/etch this in stone. I just need to know if it's worth me even doing because I want to buy 20 bushings and 3' of material to keep costs down.I would also make a jig so the pedal pivot would be reworked back in the stock location.
If I get enough, I can powder coat them for a reasonable amount. But I can't do that if I do one at a time....... Ovens/Compressors etc all cost money to run.
I've layed it all out for you, if your interested please let me know in this thread before I commit my time and money only to do 2 or 3 of them. I'm fairly sure no one will be able to do it any cheaper with the same result..........
You won't hurt my feelings, just please run your thoughts my way.
