Pedal Bush - How much would you pay
 

I have some extra acetal left over from my pedal bushes and will probably have some steel tube suitable for the pedals too
If I made some extra bushes and pedal tubes to sell how much do you think people would pay for them on eBay? i know these could be tricky to make without a lathe.

I don't want to be greedy just help towards the cost of my roadster.

Cheers

In fact how much would you be prepared to pay for a pedal kit consisting of

3 x 28mm od 22mm ID x 29.5mm tubes
3 x 22mm x 30mm acetal bushes with an 8mm hole through.
3 x 5mm pieces of steel with a 28mm hole to suit the steel tube
3 x 3mm rolled steel plates for the foot plates

i think this keeps the spirit of home built but helps as not everyone has access to a lathe. punch press and rolling wheels.

How long is a piece of string
 

Its always going to be an awkward proposition .T:confused: he only way is to cost your materials and time and then test it on the market.If you've got what people want then they will pay for it.;)

to be honest, I see no use for such bushes and complicity for a pedal box.....

I had built my own floor mounted pedals and box and used no bushes at all. Only used a steel bar with 12.5mm diameter hole through welded to the pedals and a 12mm dia shaft steel running through pedal's "bush" (sleeve) and box with nylon spacers between pedals.
A small grease nipple is fitted to each pedal sleeve and they work perfect and smoothly and will last a lifetime:cool:

I've just made mine a few days ago, it took five or so hours to turn up the six bushes I needed in nylon and the spacers. My normal hourly charge is £42 inc VAT. Anybody want to buy a set?

I'm obviously taking the wet stuff, but how much would you pay?

D.

3GE used to charge about £19. That's for 6 self lubing oilite bushes, crush tubes and the tubes for them to fit in.

Hope that helps.
