Part Solution Needed

[Carson City Paul]

He is in Nova Scotia, Paul. At least I presume, that is what Nova means.

Anyways, shipping the rear set over would cost an arm and a leg. Unfortunately, it would likely be cheaper for him to just pay the set up fee and have it made locally.

I didn't even look to see where he was... Thanks Robert.

Robert, got an extra side plate? Send it to Paul, he can make a bushing to send Reloader to press into his side plate, maybe even a couple extra to keep on your shelves in Oakdale.
My vote is for Delrin, never needs lube.

Possibly, I'll make sure all the year bushings are the same and try and find a good brake lever too.

Never thought about that. I live in Northern Virginia so I will change the location to avoid that confusion.

My bad.

Ok, here is a new twist. I looked closely at the side plate and there is a bronze colored bushing in the hole with remnants of the plastic (probably nylon) bushing that is listed in the parts catalog.

So it appears as if the aluminum side plate is bushed (no part number so I assume it is considered as one with the side plate) and then the plastic part listed by Yamaha is the insulator/friction reducer.

The plastic bushing would have to be about .007" thick if my measurements are close.

Probably better to press out the original bronze colored bushing and make one delrin bushing to press into the side plate with an inner diameter of about .785" for the pedal shaft.

Just rambling here.

Red,

That is pure genius with the brass tubing, but as it turns out I have some Delrin stock that can be used. Just didn't think about it because it was out of sight, and therefore, at my age, out of memory!!

Pict,

Another great idea using the shim material, might use that if the Delrin proves to be a problem.

Thanks to all.

I will have to take a close look at the side plate on my bike to see exactly what your dealing with. When I install a bushing to repair a worn bore I open the bore up a little. 2 reasons, 1- it makes the bore uniform and round 2 - i y allows for a little thicker material on the bushing so it doesn't wear through as fast. You might consider using bronze instead of brass, it has a better wear quality.

I have a small lath and would be happy to do this for you. It would be best if you sent me the side cover so I could do a proper repair. Again, let me look at my bike to see what I will be dealing with first.

Paul,

Thank you for the offer.

Please check out my last post about the bushing that is pressed into the side plate.

No worries. It's a worldwide forum. Sometimes the acronyms don't translate. Shipping to Paul in Nevada wouldn't be too bad then. Likely 30-40$

Thank you Robert.

BTW, just placed my third order with RPM, great inventory and great prices on unobtainable parts.

Best,

Glad we can keep your FJ going strong. No mail today with veteran's day but I will get it out first thing tomorrow and you should have it in hand early next week.
