The pin that holds the rear brake foot pedal on my '63 VBB is missing.
I need some help here, before the pedal slides off and lose my rear brakes.
1) where can I get the lost pin
2) how to reinstall the new pin and prevent it from coming out,

Thanks!

Go to Scootwest and pick one up. They will probably even guide you through the installation process.

Thanks for all help. I got one ordered up from ScooterWest, they didn't have it on their website but replied to my email right away with a part number and cost!

Yeah you kind of have to ask them, tons of stuff not on their web site. It's one area where I'd love to see them improve.

If you've never removed one before, you're in for a treat.

I have two Super frames and they each have a slightly different angle on that pin. So I would try to work out which angle is going to be easiest to remove the pin from. From memory I think the pedal has to be pushed fully down to get access to the pin... have a look at the pedal itself to confirm.

Hope these pictures are of some help.

The angle on this one is about 10-15 degrees off that seam line, where the other one is more like 30ish.


On some bikes you may need to remove a piece of floor trim to push pedal down enuff get good access to that pin or at least pull the rubber strip out.
