is there a 1/2" to 9/16" pedal spindle adapter?

[OrgasmDonor]

if not why not? it would make loadsa peds more desirable and it must be do-able,

[Bigfrawg]

i dont think you could do it,surely the tolerances are too slight. 1/2" is too close to 9/16" the thickness on the wall of the bush (thats what they are called) would be too thin to thread on the inside and the outside.

hmmm wonder if its possible with a helicoil anyone tried?

I know of someone who could answer electrical tape....

i imagine a helicoil would work, but would it stand up to a jolly good thrashing?

[Bigfrawg]

aren't helicoils made of brass? if so me thinks they maybe to weak. ( wouldn't take the weight of my fat arse anyhoo!! )

[adenough]

it could be done by replacing the spindles

1/16" difference.... i'd say too small to make anything strong enough. but what the fook do i know....

[buzzlightyear05]

Great idea but as a machinist i can safley say you cant do it. The pitch and depths of thread would clash giving weak spots no more than 0.2mm thick. as for a helicoil i havent got a clue but would imagine they wouldnt hold up to much force.

fook me! yer all rubbish! thanks for nowt!













































  cheers dudes, just a thought

helicoil just means you cut a deeper thread and then screw in a steel spring (sort of) into it. Its great for putting a steel thread into ally but cos you have to cut it deeper in the first place they wouldnt help this problem.

i know but you could put an oversize helicoil that fits into a 9/16ths thread and may take it to 1/2 sod it get em migged in

Ah, I see. Good idea. Are the threads the same pitch?

if anybody could do it danny silverstreak could, hes the pedal master

Daz... stick to freshly skinned bulls heads... retapping threads is not your strong point

thats the wrong way round but tuther way should be as achievable but the extra length = extra leverage so not ideal for heavy use id imagine,

but strippin threads....aaaah now thats a speciality

can i also point out that i dont need any of these adapters, i was just curious as had thought about em in the past n may come in useful one day
