Title: Pedal resto and a thankyou thread
Post by: stevochb on November 21, 2012, 04:35 PM: I saw some pedals on ebay that I hadnt come across before so had a look about and couldnt find out much about them. They were a bit bent up but I liked the look of them so I made an offer and got them.

I thought all I had to do was bend them back into shape :) how wrong I was :'( the slightest touch and this is what happened

After a few tears and a bit of chucking stuff about in the garrage I calmed down and sent Steve (Animal) a pm, he told me to send them down and he would have a look :daumenhoch:
After a lot of hard work by him here is the end result :4_17_5:

Got to say I am over the moon with the result, got to say a big thanks to Steve because they would have been binned if he couldnt sort them.

Here is an old advert I found.
