Hi Bruce.

It’s not clear at all. I do have a copy of the Swedish parts book and nothing is shown for these items!
The only reason I can come up with for that is that the list is for a later MK. And maybe things changed!!
But, if you look at the photo Rocketeer posted in response to my question, he has laid the inner and outer tube side by side and you can clearly see on the inner tube the hole for the cable attachment, then the hole for the pin in item 75, next you can see the hole about half way where the threaded adjuster would be and then one further hole towards the end where the rudder pedal would be fitted. There should be another hole but I can’t see it in photo. None of these are shown in the Swedish list but they clearly exist.
I hope Rocketeer will be able to offer some advise. It’s all a mystery to me!!
Or maybe Ian_ could investigate further the rather bent one he has! But I guess it would take some straightening out 🙂

Thanks again

Thanks for the links. Very interesting but unfortunately I don’t think they help with a answer.
In Rocketeers photo you can see some witness marks of a collar pinned to the inner tube where the threaded part is. I think this prevents the inner thread turning down the outer thread. The drawing you posted shows two more pins close to where the pedals attach. On Rocketeers photo you can only see one pin hole and no witness marks of any collar! This is the part I am having a problem understanding the job the pins are doing? I think they must pin collars to the inner tube but for what purpose?
Rocketeer is restoring his rudder bars at the moment so I am hoping he will be able to throw some light on to what is happening with these pins.

Again, thanks very much for your help and input.

Yes, thank you Tony, I see it now. You have some work on there but I’m sure you can do it!!

Ian
Thanks for the pics. Yes. You are right, it looks complicated. Looks as if it will be a challenge but we wouldn’t want things to be too easy……would we!!!

I am thinking lower down where the pedal is bolted to the tube. What stops the tube rotating?
Rocketeer.
Understood Tony but what stops the tube rotating? There must be something internal. But what and where!

Hi Tony.
Thanks very much for your input. I understand everything you have said but unfortunately I am still confused!!
When the star wheel is turned to adjust the pedal forward or backward, what is it that keeps the pedal upright?
There must be something within the tube to do this!! The pedals have to be held in the upright position even when no adjustment is being made. What is there within the tubes that does this job?
If you have yours on the bench at the moment would there be any chance that I could come down and have a look at it?
Regards
Ken
