I need the lot Richard, need to take some accurate measurements for the bearing rebates etc. All the modern stuff seems to be 9/16 or loose ball when it's 1/2  :(

Not sure on the fesability, but could you not just re-thread the 9/16 down to 1/2?

I think you're stuffed on modern one's Clint - maybe ask over at Flatland Fuel as those hoppity little bunnies regularily use 1-piece cranks fella and might know of a modern bmx sealed set?

Maybe some road bikes use em?

Failing all that Peregrine did their sealed peds in the 90's in 1/2" fella, but they'll cop you £20:

It's not looking good buddy but those Perry peds may just save the day. Anyone ever took a set apart? Would be great to see the internals before I splash the cash  ;)

Cheers Gary, I did see those but the shaft between the thread and pedal body is too long for my plans :(
