Hiya Gents :)
Got these lovelies recently from thebigdog and as you can see they need a little tlc.
Im planning on removing the cages to reshape and re-anno and use countersunk allen machine screws to remount them.
Hopefully they should look a little like the KKT LMX's as in the second pic :daumenhoch:

I know the "rivets" are actually part of the pedal body casting and are just mushroomed over to hold the cage on. The plan is to remove the mushroom but leave the nub to locate the cage on then just secure with an M3 allen machine screw :daumenhoch:
What would be really usefull is a clear centred shot from above of a tidy pedal so i can make a wooden former to reshape mine. Anyone feeling photographical? :crazy2:

Can get a pic if some MKS foot jaws Clint if that's any good to ya. :daumenhoch:
-
Cheers our kid, are they a similar end shape do you know?
-
Almost identical... just uploading em to pb. :daumenhoch:
-
Is this what your after Clint ?

Got 5 mins to myself today so decided to remove the cages :)
I started by centre punching and drilling a 2.5mm hole through the middle of the rivets, deep enough to receive the M3 countersunk allen machine screws. Its important not to drill too deep as there is a chance the hole could come through the narrow section of the body

Next using a 4.5mm bit i drilled through the rivet head leaving a fine ring of the head remaining. The holes in the cages are 5mm :daumenhoch:

The rings were easily removed with a gentle tap with a flat screwdriver or something similar.

The cages were removed using a small piece of timber to pry and/or tap apart from the body. The nubs were filed flat with enough left on to relocate the cages once restored.

Next job is to reshape, file and polish the cages ready for anno :)
-
Good work so far :daumenhoch: Should come up a treat once done :)

Another early finish, another chance to do a bit of resto.
Managed to cut a few oak formers and set about gently hammering the makings of the original shape.

offered up to check the hammering isnt stretching the cage.

Next job filing :daumenhoch:

Looking great so far. :)
-
Yes, fantastic.

Great work, liking the oak formers :daumenhoch:
-
Nice one Clint ...... agree with Marty, them Oak pedal cage formers are cool 8)
-
Coming on them Clint. :daumenhoch:

Nearly there with the cages. Countersunk the rivet holes for the machine screws and restored as much of the teeth shape as was practicle without filing too much of the body away.

When you're done you can make another set by simply running some spindles in the wooden bits :daumenhoch:

Came up a treat they did :4_17_5:

Once Joff had been ( thought he would never go :LolLolLolLol: ) i got the threads tapped and tried a screw for size. offering up the egde of a cage it was evident the screws were going to sit proud of the cage so i had to countersing the body nubs.

I think you shouldn't have bothered as I have a 'wanted' ad up for pedal spindles, it could have saved you a lot of time just parting them out ::)
