"HOW TO"

i've been wanting to do a little
"HOW TO" for ever. i always forget
the camera or get so wrapped up in making
the part i forget to take pics.
so here it is. this took me about
an hour at the most.
* you might say why not just start
from scratch?? make the whole bracket?
well i like using what was there and
tweaking it.

this is a stock style pan/knuck brake
pedal bracket with peg. i use mids so i
don't want that peg up there and i hate how
the bracket stick out past the frame. so
this is how you would re-shape that bracket
to make it folow the frame and slim it down.
using what you have.

STOCK BRACKET


you get it. wear gloves and safety glasses.
cut it patiently.


here is the bracket cut at the two places
you will need to cut. cut both pieces as straight
as possible. it will help when you weld it back
together.


that fish is talking shit.
make him shut his mouth.
(you may have to clamp these two
pieces together, also tack before welding)


weld the edge that you cut and saved and fill
all open edges with weld. (i went a little heavy
on the welds so i could shape the edges)


mount the bracket at the front only
and look at how the hole(back) is gonna
need to be moved. mark the center of the new hole
with a punch and drill it out.



now fill the old hole with weld.
your goin to have to re-drill the new hole again
to make it clean and round.



here is the finished bracket with stock
pedal. slimmer and follows the frame.
sorry the hardware is garbage. also spend
more time with the file to clean it up.




this is another one that i did.
made a pedal and brake rod bracket
and welded it to where the old pedal was attached.
added a piece of small dog chain to keep it from flopping back.



lemme know what you guys think.
i wanna do more of these. does it help?
