brake pedal pad

[carryall]

Does anyone know if Wayne sells a rubber brake pedal pad that, I assume, just slides over the 3/4" round pipe that extends out for your foot?  If not, what do others use?

I just checked his price list, and it is does not list part #427, but I bet he has them.  If not, how about a minibike foot peg cover?

Yep, already considered 3/4" handlebar grips, and the like.  Figured a square pad would look better. Suppose I could cut a hockey puck and drill in a hole. LOL Or maybe a bike pedal would work...O'man, now I got another project to think/work on!

I original bought this for my 48 but later found out it never had one as it has a built knurl into the brake pedal(tube). My 52 does not have this knurl and I will put it on that. I got it from Gary Wollard   who claimed the color and style was correct.   measures .730 inside   3.625 long   1.187  outside

I think George Fox made those.  I wonder if his widow is still making them.  She is the person who makes the late model grips that Wayne sells.  Here is a drawing of one from FoxGrips catalog.

Pete, I don't think so.  I think she only does wholesale now, and even that is very limited.  Wayne told me she has been trying to sell the business, but no takers, so far.

I think you need to go into the rubber molds business!  lol

Was there any indication of what a business like that would cost to get into?

Excellent question , that^ .

I recall Wayne saying she wanted A LOT!  L

The molds they have are all hand poured molds, and, as it was explained to me, they get hot quickly, so you must give them time to cool down.  This is something that could be run out of a minimal space though.

It's the "A LOT" part I don't care for .

Here is the rest of the catalog that I copied off the internet a couple of years ago.

Thanks for that , Rick .

Didn't you have that posted somewhere else on the site prior ?
Maybe you could post that in the Brochures and other Literature section .

I don't know, but it is possible.
