Still looking for 500 brake pedal return spring.

Still looking for p/n 46514-323-020 spring.

Ask if he'll post to UK..

Or just buy this and sell the lever after.

I've contacted the US seller he will not post to the UK.

The UK seller will not split the spring from the pedal - £24 for a used spring seems excessive - I can live with my home made effort if needs be.

Look at it another way Ted. The spring on it's own is around £10, then you've got postage etc IF they would send it to the UK, that's most likely £10 as well. So you'd be willing to pay £20 for a spring (also second hand) but not £24 for a spring and pedal, as I said you can sell the pedal on, tidy it up, get it rechromed and it will fetch enough to pay for itself and the spring.

I've contacted the the same seller over splitting some fork parts
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353911365753
and offered them him £15 for just the rubber dampers and he refused - ruthless B****d - I wouldn't even have the face to sell the fork ears in that condition!

And yet I've had some really good deals and sometimes when I've rang him he's thrown in parts FOC. I was after a rear mudguard for a 500/550 once, rang him and in the conversation I said I was looking for the plastic inner guard, he threw it in FOC and the rear guard was really well priced. Suppose it can come down to who answers the request, some are more flexible than others.

I think I'm sorted bought a spring with the pivot lever instead of the pedal.

Always happens, i found one for $10 in the us and my mate in nashville has bought it for me, will be 2 postage charges though

Well I bought the pedal and spring, I'll tidy the spring, replate it in nickel/zinc and sell it on. The pedal I'll have stripped, repair all the pitting and have rechromed, should sell easily after that.
