Foot Pedal Mods

[acourtjester]

Hi All
I did some mods to the foot pedal that came with my PM 256. I read that other guys had probems with the timing belt shaft getting off the pot and not working. See attached pictures. I made 2 brackets on of 1/4" X 1" X 1" angle about 1-1/2" long and the other is 1/8" flat cut to shape and bent to a 90.
I used 10-32 screws and nuts to hold them on. The 1/4" bracket has a tongue that sticks info the back of the timing belt shaft as a guide.

Have fun

Hey Tom,

Thanks for posting your mod. It will make the pedal go a long way for sure.

I saved what you emailed me as well. We should have a new pedal coming soon. Lower profile as well.

Love to see pics of the Nomad if you ever get time. Have a good weekend.
