Title: Skyway pedal resto
Post by: Bmxxxx on February 03, 2014, 07:42 PM: Brought these pedals for a build. Need spindle caps.
Where a bit used.
Made new spindle caps, clean and polished spindles.
Striped cages and sharpened cage teeth.
And now fit for my build. This is what i enjoy from this hobby.
Hope you like.
Gary

Fishing tackle box. Its got the pattern in the moulding that matchs
The pedals.
Happy days.
