Front offside footrest

(1/4) > >>

DaveN:
OK, I know that they are supposed to fold up to use the kick-starter, but mine flops about like a todger in a top hat!
The slightest snag on trouser or boot and it folds up only to be discovered when I try to rest my foot on it - oh what fun.
It has the circular flat spring installed but this only seems to lightly hold it up and has no tension to hold it down.
I presume it's knackered as I can re-shape it with finger pressure. Does anybody know if replacement springs are available?

Cheers for any advice.

Bryanj:
Cmsnl for parts list, would have looked but you didnt put year/country

DaveN:
Thanks Bryan,  I've had a look but CMSNL have them as unavailable. I had a search by the part number and no luck so far - just two other sources and both have it as discontinued.

One thing, looking at the picture on CMSNL, it shows a double leaf construction:

I only have the 'inner' part so I guess that's why it's so weak.

It's a UK 1977 model by the way, but it seems to be a standard part across all markets.

Orcade-Ian:
Hi Dave,
Yes, double leaf needed - I will have a look tomorrow as I think I should have one (or more) - I'll get back to you but it might be late morning.

Ian

DaveN:
Cheers Ian, much appreciated  :)
