WANTED DX resto advice

[crazycraig]

I am going to be restoring a set of DX pedles and i am missing a few of the nipples/gripper thingymabobs .Has anyone got any spares or know of a suitable replacement for these .

Also what is the best paint to use ? Some say glass paint but what make etc and where can you purchase it from ?

Thanks

Try Sawzall or SteveP for info on the pins, B&Q sell glass paint

I've read somewhere that an unpoped rivet fits perfectly, just glue in and cut off the length you need it.

I've only read it , not sure if it fits.

maybe get another pair of shagged ones and make one good set.. 

or see if someone on here has one spare pedal, sometimes they come up...

Are the pins easy to pull out?

I've got a spare pedal that I was going to use for the spindle only and a few of those pins if they do 

[crazycraig]

Sawall did a nice paint job on some pedals on one of his mini's - looked like the DX blue to me.. Contact and find put what paint and techniques he used.. think he said it was a MAZDA colour.

bobafett:
the paint u will beable to get close, but because of the glass paint finish it's about how it thinned and applied more, I think..
