4ll5op 8 Posted March 5, 2019 ok cool we have a 0.375" ejector pin which should do the job. are the ends of the original tapered? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted March 5, 2019 They're rounded off, look at the cups that receive it and you'll see what it needs to look like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4ll5op 8 Posted March 5, 2019 Ah ok cool I can do that on the grinding wheel. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4ll5op 8 Posted March 5, 2019 hopefully one of these does the trick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted March 5, 2019 It's hard to say without a scale but the left one looks spot on assuming it's ~1" long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4ll5op 8 Posted March 5, 2019 left is 6mm right is 9mm both are roughly an inch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted March 5, 2019 Well, it looks about right. I used a bit of an old pen I found in the rear footwell once when the pin fell out in a traffic jam and that worked fine... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4ll5op 8 Posted March 6, 2019 the pedal is working fine and is level with brake pedal, but the bite is near bottom of travel and cannot adjust the nuts anymore as they are at end of the thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted March 6, 2019 Have you checked the arm the cable goes onto? They can fatigue, crack and bend as you tighten the cable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4ll5op 8 Posted March 6, 2019 no i haven't to be honest are they easy to replace? just seemed weird that the new cable makes the pedal sit lower than the old cable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted March 6, 2019 If it's cracked just take it to someone with a MIG and get it welded up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4ll5op 8 Posted March 6, 2019 ok thanks ill have a look, any other ideas while im at it. if the arm is ok? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted March 6, 2019 The fork that sticks out of the gearbox can come loose on the balljoint inside, or the balljoint itself can come loose, it is just riveted on IIRC. Were the cables identical? Did you compare them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4ll5op 8 Posted March 6, 2019 yes i compared cables and wouldnt say identical but same part number and same length. just different types of plastic /rubber washers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
