Viva GT: Pedal box bushes

Yep thats right, taking it apart again, whilst I am fiddling with other so called finished bits, I removed the pedal box tonight and stripped it down to the bare case, the Brake arm and the Clutch arm. Long story short it’s all working exactly as it should but the bushes holding the common shaft are worn out and split.

Here are the six plastic bushes seen from underneath, all are naff, my own fault I shouldn’t of been so keen to get it all together.

A terrible video of me breathing like I have no lungs (hay fever season!) follows in which you can see the sort of movement I shouldn’t have. The plan is get some bronze bushes made up, to replace the crap plastic stock rubbish.

I may also get it all blasted and powder coated, as its been in and out far too many times and scratched. I have been meaning to try the local powder coaters and see what they are like…
